Answer:

Gain or loss on sale of asset = Sale price- Book value of asset

The original cost of the crane was 5.38 million and its accumulated depreciation was 4.39 million

5.38-4.39=0.99 million

$0.99 million is the book value of the asset

the sale price was 1.12 million

1.12 million - 0.99 million = gain on asset

=0.13 million

Gain on sale of equipment= $0.13 million
