I don't get this one. Why did you deduct further depreciation charges? We have the NBV for 2003 and 2003 and the depreciation charge for 2004. So why wouldd we deduct a further depreciation charge?

In my calculation, the answer was 89,000, but it's not in the options!

Y = depreciation of disposal = 193
NBV of disposal = 353 - 193 = 160
loss on disposal = NBV of disposal - proceeds of disposal
107 = 160 - proceeds of disposal
proceeds of disposal = 53
