    Situation 3: Diaz sold the machine for $40,300 cash

    Explanation:

    Accumulated depreciation is the sum of all the depreciation charged against the asset. This contra asset value. The asset is reported on the balance sheet after adjusting this value.

    Situation 1:

    Machine is sold at loss, which is calculated as below

    Net Book value of Machine = $125,300 - $90,600 = $34,700

    $16,100 cash is received against the NBV of machine

    Loss on machine = $34,700 - $16,100 = $18,600

    Situation 2:

    Machine is sold at No gain no loss, which is calculated as below

    Net Book value of Machine = $125,300 - $90,600 = $34,700

    $34,700 cash is received against the NBV of machine, so there is no gain no loss on the disposal

    Situation 3:

    Machine is sold at gain, which is calculated as below

    Net Book value of Machine = $125,300 - $90,600 = $34,700

    $40,300 cash is received against the NBV of machine

    Loss on machine = $40,300 - $34,700 = $5,600
