Ah, the old reducing balance method. I thought that was just for my bank account! But seriously, I'm gonna go with option D. Why? Because it's the most 'balanced' answer, of course!

You know, I was thinking about becoming an accountant, but after this question, I'm not so sure. Anyway, I'll go with option C, a profit on disposal of 50000. Sounds like the safest bet to me.

Alright, time to put my calculator to work! I'm gonna go with option A, a loss on disposal of 2720. Gotta love those depreciation calculations, am I right?

Yikes, this question is a real head-scratcher. But I'm feeling confident about option B, a loss on disposal of 22880. Got to show my accounting chops, you know?

Hmm, let me think about this. Reducing balance method, huh? That's a tricky one. I'm gonna go with option D, a profit on disposal of 58571. Seems like the right answer to me.

I agree with option D as well. The reducing balance method can be confusing, but that seems like the most logical choice.

I'm not sure about that. I think it might be a loss on disposal instead.
