Answer:

gain of $6,350.

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation expense each year = (cost of asset - residual value) / useful life

($46,200 - $6,300) / 4 = $9,975

Depreciation expense after two years = $9,975 x 2 = $19,950

Value of the equipment in two years = $46,200 - $19,950 = $26,250

If the equipment is sold for $32,600, the equipment would be sold at a profit

Profit = $32,600 - $26,250 = $6350
