= $537,750 - ($358,500+$89,625 )

Explanation:

Computation of net book value

Cost of equipment                                                                             $ 76,800

Less: Accumulated depreciation                                                     $ 40,800

Net book value                                                                                  $ 36,000      

In first step where the equipment is sold of $ 47,000, the differential between the sale value and the net book value is the gain on sale and is credited in the accounting entry.

In the second step, where the equipment is sold for $ 36,000, the sale proceeds is exactly equal to the net book value and no gain or loss is recorded.

In the third step, the equipment is sold for $ 31,000 and the differential  between the net book value and the sale proceeds is a loss and recorded as a debit in the accounting entry
