Answer:
Gain/loss= $7,500 loss
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $24,000.
Lassen bought the machine for $52,000 and has claimed $20,500 of depreciation expense on the machine
First, we need to calculate the book value:
Book value= original price - accumulated depreciation
Book value= 52,000 - 20,500= $31,500
If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.
Gain/loss= 24,000 - 31,500= $7,500 loss
