    Original Cost of asset = $269,000

    Explanation:

    Provided information,

    We have been provided that selling value of equipment = $162,000

    Gain recognized on sale = $16,000

    Gain = Selling price - Book Value

    $16,000 = $162,000 - Book Value

    Book Value = $162,000 - $16,000 = $146,000

    Accumulated Depreciation = $123,000

    Book Value = Original Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

    $146,000 = Original cost - $123,000

    $146,000 + $123,000 = Original Cost = $269,000
