5y ago#12015 Depn charge = 60,000/5 = 12000. NBV = 60,000 - 12000 = 48,000
2016 Depn charge = 48,000/5 = 9600. NBV = 48,000 - 9600 = 38,400
2017 Depn charge = 38,400/5 = 7680. NBV = 38,400 - 7680 = 30,720
2018 Depn charge = 30,720/5 = 6144
5y ago#2On 1/1/2019 NBV = 30,720 - 6144 =24,576
Profit/loss on disposal = Proceeds - NBV = 24,000 - 24,576
So I make it a loss of 576
