There are some questions in your question!

Why there are 3 office equipment in your question costing $3100, $1600 and $16500? Which one you want to dispose?

Moreover, I cannot work out your accumulated depreciation $8279

The definition is

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant
and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item. (HKAS 16)

Assuming the asset to be disposed cost $1600
Using reducing balance method, the accumulated depreciation as at 31 Dec 2007 is $911.25 and NBV is $688.75 (No depreciation is charged for 2008 year when you dispose the asset.)

Loss on disposal is $688.75 - $200 = $488.75

For your reference:

2000 160.00 1,440.00
2001 144.00 1,296.00
2002 129.60 1,166.40
2003 116.64 1,049.76
2004 104.98 944.78
2005 94.48 850.31
2006 85.03 765.28
2007 76.53 688.75
2008
