Atrucking company sold its fleet of trucks for $55,000. the trucks originally cost $1,410,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $1,269,000 recorded through the date of disposal. what gain or loss did the trucking company record when it sold the fleet of trucks?

Loss on disposal = $86,000

Explanation:

Given the following information about the fleet of trucks sold;

Income from disposal = $55,000

Historical cost of assets = $1,410,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $1,269,000

Calculate the net book value

Net book value = Historical cost of assets - Accumulated Depreciation

                          = $1,410,000 - $1,269,000

                          = $141,000

Gain or (loss) = $55,000 - $141,000

                      = $ (86,000)

Loss on disposal $86,000

u = 30

continuing your method

= +

subtract from both sides

= - thus

= -

= ⇒ u = 30

answer utilities; more money you have to pay out ; )
