    Loss on disposal $1,800

    Explanation:

    Cost of Asset 26,000

    Useful life 5years

    Sale proceeds 19,000

    Depreciation for the year=$26,000/5=$5,200

    Written Down value (WDV) = $26,000-$5,200=$20,800

    Loss on Disposal = Sale proceeds - WDV=$19,000-$20,800=$1,800

    It is assumed that depreciation is fully charged for the year on asset.
