    d. loss of $30,000

    Explanation:

    The initial cost of the cage: $310,000.00

    Selling price: $ 20,000.00

    Depreciation recorded: $260,000.00

    calculating book value: (initial cost-Depreciation)

    =$310,000-$260,000

    Book value = $50,000.00

    Profit or loss=selling price - book value.

    =$20,000.00 - $50,000.00

    = ($30,000.00)

    loss of $ 30,000.00
