Answer #1

And. Option 5th $5,200

Explanation: Loss on sale of machine should be reported (added) in the Operation activities section of the cash flow statement.

First, we need to calculate the book value.

Book value = Cost of machine - Accumulated depreciation

= $132,000 - $86,000

= $46,000

Loss on sale of machine = Book value - Market value

= $46,000 - $40,800

= $5,200

*Sales (market) value of machine will be reported in investing activities.
