Answer: A. Loss $1,100

Explanation:

Value at the end of the first year after depreciation:

= 18,000 * (1 - 20%)

= $14,400

No depreciation was charged in the year of sale which is 2018 so only a year of depreciation applies.

Profit (loss) = Sales price - Net book value

= 13,300 - 14,400

= -$1,100
