Answer:

Loss= $30,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation and the accumulated depreciation at the moment of the sale:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (60,000 - 6,000) / 10

Annual depreciation= $5,400

Accumulated depreciation= 5,400*5= $27,000

Now, the book value and loss from the sale:

Book value= 60,000 - 27,000= $33,000

Loss= selling price - book value

Loss= 33,000 - 3,000

Loss= $30,000
