Old truck | |
Purchase price | 104,000.00 |
Accumulated Depreciation | -95,000.00 |
Book Value | 9,000.00 |
Since the exchnage has a commercial substance, the exchanged asset will be recorded at its fair value.
Gain on exchange = FV of asset received - book vakue of asset given - cash payment = 57000-9000-42000 = 6000
The following journal entry will be recorded in the books of the buyer of new truck:
New Truck | 57,000.00 | |
Accumulated Depreciation | 95,000.00 | |
Old Truck | 104,000.00 | |
Cash | 42,000.00 | |
Gain on exchange | 6,000.00 |
