Explanation:

• Depreciation = (Cost + Sales tax - Salvage value) / useful life

                              =(20515+1485-2400)/4

                              =$4900

• Book value = Cost + Sales tax - Annual depreciation computed in (a) * 2 years

                              =20,515+1,485-4900*2

                              =$12,200

             Gain (loss) = Proceeds - Book value

                                =5,300 -12,200

                               =$6,900
