Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
equipment price = 18000
salvage value after 8 years useful life = 2000
If in 1996 ( 3 years later) it is sold for 8000, hence we have
18000 - 8000 = 10000
This means that, the quiptment was suppose to have been sold for 10,000 instead it was sold for 8,000. this shows a N2000 loss
