(4 points) Gemini Auto Repair is a calendar year taxpayer. The repair shop purchased a light weight truck on March 15, 2023 for $39,000 that it used to drive customers back and forth to their cars while the shop worked on their cars (i.e. for business purposes). On August 21, 2024, the repair shop sold the truck for $34,000. Assume that the lightweight truck was the only asset Gemini purchased in 2023. Gemini Auto Repair opted out of Sec. 179 and bonus depreciation for 2023. Do not use any MACRS tables to calculate regular depreciation, instead just assume that the depreciation deductions Gemini actually took for the truck for 2023 and 2024 were $8,100 and $9,500, respectively. What was the total amount of gain (or loss) for Gemini in 2023 on the sale of the truck?
