The gain that would be recognised on the exchange of the asset by the company is $140,000.

What is the gain on the asset?

The gain on the exchange of an asset is recorded when the fair value is greater than the book value of the asset. The gain on the exchange is sum of the difference between the fair value and the book value and the cash.

Gain = (fair value - book value) + cash

($300,000 - $260,000) + 100,000 = $40,000
