Correct option is "b" - 468000

working :

a)Gain/(loss) on sale =sale value -book value

= 20000 -50000

= -30000 loss

Tax saving sue to loss =Loss*tax rate

= -30000*40%

= -12000

After tax sale value = 20000 - (-12000)

= 20000+12000

= 32000

Now ,

Purchase cost	500000
less:After tax sale value	-32000
