    A)

    Cash $25000 Dr

    Accumulated depreciation-Machine $28000 Dr

    Machine $50000 Cr

    Gain on disposal $3000 Cr

    B)

    Cash $15000 Dr

    Accumulated depreciation-Machine $28000 Dr

    Loss on disposal $7000 Dr

    Machine $50000 Cr

    Explanation:

    The net book value of the machine is cost - accumulated depreciation.

    Thus, the NBV = 50000 - 28000 = $22000

    a. The gain on disposal = Cash received - NBV

    Gain on disposal = 25000 - 22000 = $3000 gain

    b. The gain on disposal = 15000 - 22000 = - $7000 (loss on disposal)
