Question

Pharoah Corporation, which manufactures shoes, hired a recent college graduate to work in its accounting department. On the first day of work, the accountant was assigned to total a batch of invoices with the use of an adding machine. Before long, the accountant, who had never before seen such a machine, managed to break the machine. Pharoah Corporation gave the machine plus $442 to Novak Business Machine Company (dealer) in exchange for a new machine. Assume the following information about the machines.

		Pharoah Corp. (Old Machine)			Novak Co. (New Machine)
Machine cost		$377			$351
Accumulated depreciation		182			–0–
Fair value		111			553

For each company, prepare the necessary journal entry to record the exchange. (The exchange has commercial substance.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
