Answer:
equipment 3,700
Explanation:
First we calcualte the values of the machine given up:
traded-out assets
purchased 23000
depreciation 20,000
book value 3,000
fair value 5,000
gain on disposal 2,000
This gain would be recognzie if there was commercial substance. In this case we don't have commercial substance. So it is deffered.
Value given up forthe new equipment:
cash 700
traded-out 5,000
total value 5,700
We subtract the deffered gain on disposal to get the accounting value for the new equipment:
deferred gain (2,000)
accounting value 3,700
The machine will enter the accounting with 3,700
journal entry
equipment 3,700
acc del 20,000
equipment 23,000
cash 700
