WORKING:
Depreciation for 2017: 14,000 * 2/5 = 5600
Depreciation for 2018 (through Sep. 30): (14,000 - 5,600) * 2/5 * 9/12= 2520
Accumulated depreciation at Sep'30 2018: 5600 + 2520 = 8120
Computation of gain or loss:
Cash received: 7,300
BV of fixtures: 14000 - 8120 = 5880
Gain on sale of asset: 7300 - 5880 = 1,420
