Answer:
$2000
Step-by-step explanation:
van cost = $16000
Estimated life= 4 years
Residual value= $4000
using straight line method of depreciation
Depreciation per year= [tex]\frac{16000-4000}{4}[/tex]= 3000
Therefore book value ater two years = $16000- 2*3000= $10000
Selling price of book after 2 years= $8000
hence the difference between book value and the amount received
10000-8000= $2000
