Based on the information given the gain or loss if the asset was sold on March 31, 2024 is $6,000 gain.
Depreciation per units= (Original cost - Residual value) ÷ (Estimated production units)
Depreciation per units= ($78,000 - $13,000) ÷ 20,000 units
Depreciation per units= $65,000 ÷ 20,000 units
Depreciation per units= $3.25 per units
Accumulated depreciation=(500 units × $3.25)+( 3,000 units × $3.25)+(3,500 units × $3.25)+( 1,000 units × $3.25)
Accumulated depreciation= $1,625 + $9,750 + $11,375 + $3,250
Accumulated depreciation= $26,000
Book value= Acquired value of an asset - Accumulated depreciation
Book value= $78,000 - $26,000
Book value= $52,000
Gain or Loss= Sale value - Book value
Gain or Loss= $58,000 - $52,000
Gain or Loss= $6,000 gain
