Answer 1

The used truck had an original cost of $15,000 and accumulated depreciation of $7,500.

Hence, book value of truck= Original cost - Accumulated depreciation

= 15,000 - 7,500

= 7,500

In exchange of truck, car with a fair value of $9,000 and $2,000 cash is received.

Hence, the amount of gain in the transaction = Car + Cash - Book value of truck

= 9,000 + 2,000 - 7,500

= $3,500
