a. $30,000 loss on disposal

Explanation:

Companies frequently sell plant assets to dispose them. To recognize gain or loss on disposal:

First, the company calculates the carrying amount of the asset by using the original cost of the asset, minus all accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment charges.

Then, subtract this carrying amount from the sale price of the asset. If the remainder is positive, it is a gain and if the remainder is negative, it is a loss

On 31 December, 2007, the carrying amount of the asset = $180,000 - $90,000 = $90,000

Sale price - Carrying amount of the asset = $60,000 - $90,000 = -$30,000

=> The company recognizes loss on disposal $30,000

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
