ANSWER

Loss of $1000

Step-by-step explanation

Cost is $50000

The less accumulated depreciation is $45000

Hence, the book value on data on sale;


\begin{gathered} 50000-45000 \\ =5000 \end{gathered}

Gain or loss on sale = Sale value - Book value;


\begin{gathered} 4000-5000 \\ =-1000 \end{gathered}

Therefore a loss
