Calculate gain or loss on disposal. Gain should be entered as a positive number. Loss should be entered as a negative number.
Round the answer to two decimals.
Cost of Asset = $103,725
Useful Life = 4 years
Depreciation Year 1 = 20.00% * $103,725
Depreciation Year 1 = $20,745.00
Depreciation Year 2 = 32.00% * $103,725
Depreciation Year 2 = $33,192.00
Depreciation Year 3 = 19.20% * $103,725
Depreciation Year 3 = $19,915.20
Depreciation Year 4 = 11.52% * $103,725
Depreciation Year 4 = $11,949.12
Book Value at the end of Year 4 = $103,725.00 - $20,745.00 -
$33,192.00 - $19,915.20 - $11,949.12
Book Value at the end of Year 4 = $17,923.68

Loss on Disposal = $10,599.00 - $17,923.68
Loss on Disposal = -$7,324.68

Disposal
Cash Flow from Disposal = $10,599.00 - (-$2,197.40)
