    Answer: Option (A) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Sold a used industrial crane = $600,000 cash

    Original cost of the crane = $5.0 million

    Accumulated depreciation = $4.2 million

    Book value as on date of sales = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation

    = $5.0 million - $4.2 million

    = $0.8 million

    = $800,000

    Hence,

    Loss on sales = Sales proceeds - Book value

    = $600,000 - $800,000

    = - ($200,000)
