Answer:

d. $650 gain

Explanation:

Gain or loss is a function of the prices an item cost at the time of purchase and the amount realized on the sale of the item.

Gain/loss is the difference between the selling price and cost price. Where the cost is more, the company makes a loss, where it is not greater than or equal to, the company makes a gain.

total cost  = $18,000 + $350

= $18,350

Gain/(loss) = $19,000 - $18,350

= $650
