Step-by-step explanation:
Wall corporation exchanges equipment. Therefore, 1 equipment purchases and another one sells. So, a debit entry and a credit entry for equipment will be needed to record the transaction. Exchanging helps to gain on equipment. The gain amounted to =
Old equipment,
Cost price = $100,000
(-) Accumulated depreciation = $ 60,000
Book value before exchanging = $40,000
As the company received a new one by exchanging the old equipment,
The gain on equipment -
New equipment = $80,000
Book value of old one = $40,000
Gain = $40,000
As the company exchanged old equipment, the depreciation related to that old one became a debit entry.
Therefore, the following entry to be recorded -
Debit Equipment $80,000
Debit accumulated depreciation $60,000
Credit Equipment $100,000
Credit Gain on exchange of asset 40,000
