Respuesta :

No gain or loss can be determined

Answer:

No gain or loss

Explanation:

Original cost : $310,000.

Accumulated deprecation :$260,000.00

Book value as at disposal : $50,000.00

Disposal value : $50,000

Gain / Loss : None.

Accumulated depreciation is total depreciation charged on an asset up to a particular reporting period . This is deducted from the original cost to derive the value of the asset at disposal.

As gain or loss is the difference in the selling and the book value of an asset , in this situation that it was sold at the book value cost , there is no loss or gain
