Answer 1

Answer:

c.a loss of $35, 600

Explanation:

to know the gain/loss at disposal we should compare the book value with the sales price:

book value: historic cost - accumulated depreciation

70,000 - 32,000 = 38,000

proceeds from sale  2,400

loss for                     35,600

As we are selling belowthe book value it will be a loss for the difference
