Explanation:

Disposal of asset occurs when the asset is sold. Fixed asset carry a cost and accumulated depreciation for life from purchase to the disposal date. At the time of disposal there might be a gain or loss on disposal. If the asset is sold below the NBV there is a loss on disposal and If the asset is sold over the NBV there is a profit on disposal

Net Value of Asset = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

Net Value of Asset = $210,000 - $100,000 = $110,000

Net profit / loss on disposal = Cash Proceeds - Net book value

Net profit / loss on disposal = $92,000 - $110,000

Net loss on disposal = $18,000
