The loss on the disposal of the car is $-16,200.
The first step is to determine the total depreciation on the car.
Depreciation expense = percentage depreciation x cost of the asset
$37,000 x 0.1 = $3700
The second step is to determine the book value of the car = cost of the car - depreciation
$37,000 - $3700 = $33,300.
The book value is greater than the selling price of the car, so there was a loss on the sale. The third step is to determine the gain on the sale.
Loss = $17,100 - $33,300 = $-16,200
