Working note:
Annual depreciation = (Cost – Salvage value) / Life of the asset
= ($150,000 – $25,000) / 10
= $12,500
.
The machine has been used for 5 years (from January 01, 2015 to December 31, 2019)
So,
Accumulated depreciation as on December 31, 2019 = $12,500 x 5 years = $62,500
.
Book value as on December 31, 2019 = Cost – Accumulated depreciation
= $150,000 – $62,500
= $87,500
.
Sale value of the asset = $90,000
.
Since the sale value is higher than the book value, the sale transaction resulted in a profit.
Therefore, Profit on disposal of the asset = Sale value – Book value
= $90,000 – $87,500
= $2,500
