a. Gain on Disposal will be credited

Explanation:

For recording this sale, first we have to determine the per share selling price and purchase price which is shown below:

Purchase price would be

= Invested amount ÷ number of shares acquired

= $15,000 ÷ 5,000 shares

= $3

Now the sale price would be

= Sales amount ÷ number of shares acquired

= $20,250 ÷ 2,500 shares

= $8.1

Since the selling price is more than the purchase price which would reflect the gain and the gain part is always credited

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough
