Cost of equipment = $39,000

Useful life = 5 year

Residual value = $7,000

Accumulated depreciation expense = (Cost of equipment - Residual value )/Useful life

= (39,000 - 7,000)/5

= 32,000/5

= $6,400

Accumulated depreciation for 2 year = Accumulated depreciation expense x 2

= 6,400 x 2

= $12,800

Book value of equipment at the end of year 2 = Cost of equipment - Accumulated depreciation for 2 year

= 39,000 - 12,800

= $26,200

Sale price of equipment = $24,900

Loss on sale of equipment = Book value of equipment at the end of year 2 - Sale price of equipment

= 26,200 - 24,900

= $1,300
