Note:

Loss on Sale of Machine A
| Cost of Machine A | 36000 |
| Less: Accumulated Depreciation | 26750 |
| Book Value of Machine A | 9250 |
| Less: Sale Value of Machine A | 8220 |
| Loss on Sale of Machine A | 1030 |
Loss on Disposal of Machine B
| Cost of Machine B | 68500 |
| Less: Accumulated Depreciation | 54450 |
| Loss on Disposal of Machine B | 14050 |
Using straight-line depreciation method = (Cost - Residual Value) / Useful life:
Machine A = ($36,000 - $3,900) / 6 years = $5350/year
$5350/year x 5 years = $26750
Machine B = ($68500 - $4150) / 13 years = $4950/year
$4950/year x 11 years = $ 54450
