    The cash proceeds of the sale is $3,000.

    Explanation:

    We have the equation as below:

    Total beginning net book value of Plant assets + Total plant asset purchased during the period - Total depreciation recorded of plan asset during the period - Net book value of plant asset sold during the period = Net closing book value of Plant assets.

    Thus, we have:

    120,000 - 25,000 + 28,000 - Net book value of plant asset sold during the period = 115,000 Net book value of plant asset sold during the period = 8,000.

    We also have the equation as below:

    Sales proceed - Net book value of plant asset sold during the period = Gain / (loss) on asset disposal.

    Thus, we have:

    Sales proceed - 8,000 = - 5,000 Sales proceed = $3,000.
