No new equipment was purchased during the year. What was the selling price of the equipment?

$900

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the selling price of the equipment

First step

Cost of equipment sold = Beginning balance - Ending balance

Cost of equipment sold=$12,500-$8,000

Cost of equipment sold=$4,500

Second step

Ending balance= Beginning balance + Depreciation expense - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Ending balance=$2,000+$1,000-$600

Ending balance=$2,400

Third step

Book value = Cost of equipment sold - Accumulated depreciation on equipment sold

Book value=$4,500-$600

Book value=$3,900

Now let determine the selling price of the equipment

Selling price=$3,000-$3,900

Selling price=$900

Therefore the selling price of the equipment.is $900

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
