Accumulated depreciation = $65,400
Book value of the tractor on the date of fire = Original cost - Accumulated depreciation = $131,000 - $65,400= $65,600
Proceeds from insurance company = $26,000
Gain / loss on disposal of tractor = Proceeds from insurance company - Book value of the tractor = $26,000 - $65,600 = -$39,600 (loss)
As the proceeds from Insurance company is less than the book value of the tractor, the company should recognise a loss of $39,600.
The correct answer is: A loss of $39,600.
