    a. $ 65,000

    Explanation:

    The cost of the asset less the accumulated depreciation gives the net book value.

    When an asset is disposed at a price lower than the net book value, the company makes a loss on disposal and where the the net book value is lower than the sales proceeds, the company makes a gain on disposal.

    Net book value = $200,000 - $110,000

    = $90,000

    If the company made a loss of $25,000 on disposal,

    the sales proceed = $90,000 - $25,000

    = $65,000

    This is the amount that will be presented in the statement of cash flow as an inflow in the investing section.
