The carrying value at the start of the year was 26,574. During the year this will reduce by the depreciation of 4,658 and by the carrying value of the assets sold of 1,974. Therefore, had there been no acquisitions using the year, the balance at the end of the year would have been $19,942. The actual balance at the end of the year was $44,282, and therefore there must have been acquisitions of 44,282 - 19,942 = $24,340. I work through a very similar example in my free lectures on Statements of Cash Flows. (The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.)

If you are referring to the disposal, then the question says that the carrying value (net book value) was 1,974.
