C) $9,000

Explanation:

Debits to the equity state represent additional expenses or losses that were not previously recorded.

gain/loss = cash - carrying value of truck = $12,000 - $20,000 = - $8,000 or $8,000 loss additional repair costs = $1,000 (machinery repairs)

Total unrecorded losses and expenses = $8,000 + $1,000 = $9,000
