    Gain on Disposal 25,100

    Explanation:

    book value

    cost - accumulated depreciation

    387,400 - 312,900 = 74,500

    trade-in:

    equipment 160,000

    cash 40,000

    total 200,000

    gain 200,000 - 74,500 = 125,500

    As it lack commercial substance we recognize gain for the portion of cash received doing cross multiplication

    200,00 - -> generates 125,500 gain

    40,000 - -> generates X gain

    40,000/200,000 x 125,500 = 25,100
