Answer:

D.Gain, $5,000.

Explanation:

Truck Value =  $48,000

Annual depreciation =   ( $48,000 -   $8,000) / 8 = $40,000 / 8= $5,000

First year (2013) = $40,000 - $5,000 =  $35,000

Second year (2014) = $35,000 - $5,000 =  $30,000

Third year (2015)= $30,000 - $5,000 =  $25,000

Gain  = Sale Value - Truck Value (actual) = $30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000
