I believe the total depreciation over four years would be 10,000 each year, but I’m not confident about the final profit calculation after the sale.

I’m a bit lost on how to determine the profit or loss on disposal. Did we consider the accumulated depreciation correctly?

I remember a similar question where we had to calculate depreciation and then find the profit on sale. I think we need to subtract the book value from the sale price.

I think the total depreciation should be calculated by taking the cost minus the residual value and dividing by the useful life, but I'm not entirely sure about the numbers.
