A company sells a piece of equipment for $50,000 cash. The equipment had a book value (Net PP&E) of $40,000.

How does this 'Investing Activity' flow through the Income Statement?

  1. The $40,000 book value is reported as an expense
  2. A gain of $10,000 is reported
  3. The full $50,000 is reported as Revenue
  4. There is no income statement effect, as it is an investing activity
