    The company should recognize a loss on sale of plant asset of $100,00.

    Explanation:

    The cost = $375,000

    Accumulated Depreciation = $150,000

    Therefore, book value = $225,000

    This book value is compared with the sales value of $125,000.

    There is a difference of $100,000 ($225,000 - $125,000).

    Since the book value is greater than the sales value, it means that the plant asset was sold at a loss.

    The cost is the amount at which the plant asset was purchased. The accumulated depreciation represents the cost that has been expensed so far. The sales value is the amount at which the plant asset was sold.
