Required: Using the information above, compute the gain and/or loss that would be incurred on each of the two fixed asset disposition transactions noted in the Analysis of Gains and Losses on Disposition of Property, Plant, and Equipment table below. Enter your numeric response in the appropriate table box. You only need to enter a value in the gain/loss boxes, but each of those boxes must be completed. If there is a gain and not a loss on a particular transaction, then enter the appropriate numeric value in the gain box, and enter a zero in the loss box. Conversely, if there is a loss and not a gain on a particular transaction, then enter the appropriate numeric value in the loss box, and enter a "zero" in the gain box. Do not use brackets to present losses. Instead, present any losses as whole, positive values. Do not use dollar signs and be sure to use commas as appropriate in presenting your numeric responses.
