Loss on the computers will be $1600

Explanation:

We have given number of computers = 8

After two year each computer has a cost of $600 and originally retailed for $900

And current replacement price = $400

We have to find the loss

Now cost of 8 computers = 8*600 = $4800

Replacement cost of 8 computers = 8*$400 = $3200

So loss will be equal to = $4800 - $3200 = $1600

So loss on the computers will be $1600
