Answer:

Gain on Disposal 25,100

Explanation:

book value

cost- accumulated depreciation

387,400 - 312,900 = 74,500

trade-in:

          equipment   160,000

         cash                40,000  

        total               200,000

gain 200,000 - 74,500 =       125,500

As it lack commercial substance we recognize gain for the portion of cash received doing cross multiplication

200,00 --> generates 125,500 gain

  40,000 --> generates X gain

40,000/200,000 x 125,500 = 25,100
