A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/25

Explanation
Calculate sale proceeds using net book value and loss on disposal Steps:
- Annual depreciation = (20,000 residual value) / 10 years = $8,000.
- Accumulated depreciation after 5 years = 5 × 40,000.
- Net book value at sale = 40,000 = $60,000.
- Sale proceeds = net book value - loss on sale = 10,000 = $50,000.
Why B is correct:
- Under IFRS or GAAP, loss on disposal equals net book value minus proceeds, so proceeds = net book value - loss.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. 2,000, possibly from rounding or misapplying residual value.
- C. 2,000 from net book value, understating the loss.
Final answer: B
