Johnson Co. trades in a machine with a book value of 12,000. In addition to the old machine, Johnson also pays 2,000 loss2,000 gain$3,000 gain
Solution
To calculate the gain or loss on this exchange, we first need to determine the trade-in value of the old machine. This can be calculated by subtracting the cash paid from the list value of the new machine.
So, the trade-in value of the old machine is 5,000 (cash paid) = $7,000.
The book value of the old machine is given as $10,000.
The gain or loss on the exchange is calculated by subtracting the book value of the old machine from its trade-in value.
So, the gain or loss on the exchange is 10,000 (book value of old machine) = -$3,000.
This means that Johnson Co. experienced a 3,000 loss.
