    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    On December 31, Strike Company sold one of its batting cages for $219,597. The equipment had an original cost of $258,350 and has accumulated depreciation of $38,753.

    First, we need to determine the book value:

    Book value = original cost - accumulated depreciation

    Book value = 258,350 - 38,753 = 219,597

    The gain or loss from selling an asset depends on selling it for a higher or lower value than the book value.

    Gail/loss = 219,597 - 219,597

    Gain/loss = 0
