    A gain of $16,100

    Explanation:

    When the amount received from the disposal of an asset is higher than the carrying value of the asset, the company makes a gain on disposal.

    The carrying amount of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and the accumulated depreciation of the asset.

    Carrying amount

    = $22,000 - $6,600

    = $15,400

    Gain / (loss) on sale of asset

    = $31,500 - $15,400

    = $16,100
