    The effect of this transaction is a gain of $2,500 on disposal.

    Explanation:

    Cost of motor = $15000

    Accumulated depreciation = $12000

    Net book or carrying value = 15000 - 12000

    = $3,000

    Income from disposal = $5,500

    Gain / (loss) on disposal = $5,500 - $3,000

    = $2,500

    The effect of this transaction is a gain of $2,500 on disposal.
