Question

Terra Corporation purchased equipment with a 10-year useful life and zero residual value for $100,000. At the end of the fourth year, the equipment is exchanged for new equipment worth $110,000. Terra gets a trade-in allowance of $70,000 on the exchange, with the remaining $40,000 paid in cash. Which of the following is true of the net effect of this transaction? Assume the straight-line depreciation method is used.Select all that apply:Assets decrease by $10,000Assets increase by $10,000Liabilities increase by $10,000Total stockholders' equity decreases by $10,000Total stockholders' equity increases by $10,000

Answer 1

Assets increase by $10,000

Total stockholders' equity increases by $10,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question, it is given that, the purchase value of equipment is $100,000 and the exchanged value is $110,000

So, the difference of $10,000 ($110,000 - $100,000) would reflect that the assets would increase by $10,000 and the total stockholders' equity is also increased by $10,000

The exchange value is a combination of $70,000 in trade allowance and $40,000 was paid in cash
