Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is given below:

Equipment/Computer $3,300

Accumulated depreciation-Truck $18,000

To Truck $20,000

To Gain on disposal of truck $800

To Cash $500

(Being the exchange is recorded)

Here the equipment and accumulated depreciation is debited as it increased the asset and credited the truck, cash and gain as it decreased the assets and increased the revenue
