    The company will earn a gain of $14,000.

    Explanation:

    The original cost of the ells company's delivery truck was $ 56,000 and the accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $38,000, which means a provision for the $38,000 was made in case something bad happens to the truck, and it eventually did as the truck was destroyed by fire and hence the amount of $18,000 ($56,000 - $38,000) was left which was not covered by the company.

    The company received $32,000 as insurance, which means the $18,000 loss would be covered here - $32,000 - $18,000 = $14,000, and also the company will gain $14,000.
