Original price = $78,000

depreciation = $64,500

Selling price = $11,600

the least money that Granite should have sold the ice cream equipment to avoid any loss is 78,000-64,500 = 13,500 but he sold it at $11,600 making a loss of 13500-11600 = $1900

Granite made a loss of $1900 on the sale of the equipment.
