    C. Loss of $800

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Purchase price = 14400

    Depreciation = 8000

    Selling price = 5600

    Thus,

    Value of asset after depreciation = Purchase price - Depreciation

    = 14400 - 8000

    = 6400.

    Therefore,

    Difference between current value and price sold = value of asset after depreciation - selling price

    = 6400 - 5600

    = 800

    Therefore, there was a loss of $800, since the selling price is less than the value of asset after depreciation.
