Explanation / Answer

Asset C

Annual dep = 33600/3 (accumlated dep for 3 years)

= 11200

Depreciation of asset C in 4th year = dep for 6 months ( 11200/2)= 5600

Total dep = 33600+5600 = 39200

Cash received on sale = 28000

carrying value = 70000-39200= 30800

loss on sale = 30800-28000

= 2800

Thus ans D is correct
