capital gain = $3110

Explanation:

given data

sold equipment = $72,510

originally purchased equipment = $86,750

depreciation = $17,350

solution

first we get here Book value of Equipment that is express as

Book value of Equipment = original cost of equipment - depreciation ... 1

Book value of Equipment = $86750 - $17350

Book value of Equipment = $69400

so we get here gain that is express as

capital gain = sale of equipment - book value ... 2

capital gain = $72510 - $69400

capital gain = $3110
