    D) a debit to gain on Sale of Asset

    The transaction is going to be between Accumulated Depreciation account and Gain on Sale of Asset. The Depreciation account would be credited whiles the Gain on Asset account is Debited.

    Explanation:

    Cost = $52,000

    Estimated useful life = 7 years

    Residual value = $3,000

    Depreciation for each year

    ($52,000 - $3,000) / 7 years = $7,000

    Accumulated Depreciation as at year 6

    $7,000 * 6 years = $42,000

    Carrying amount as at the end of year 6 is

    $52,000 - $42,000 = $10,000

    Sales price is $14,000.

    Profit or loss on sale

    (sales price - carrying amount)

    $14,000 - $10,000 = $4,000

    Therefore the profit/gain on sale of asset of $4,000 will be debited in the gain on sale of asset account.
