    B

    Explanation:

    Original Cost - $120,000

    Useful life - 10 years

    Residual Value - $20000

    Annual depreciation - $ (120,000-20000) / 10 = $10,000

    Accumulated depreciation for 4 years = 10*4 = $40000

    Book value at disposal = $120,000-$40000 = $80000

    Sales value = $35,000

    Loss on disposal = $80,000-$35000 = $45,000
