Crowe Company purchased a heavy-duty truck on July 1, 2014, for \(30,000. It was estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years and then would have a trade-in value of \)6,000. The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1, 2018, for a similar truck costing \(42,000; \)16,000 was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $26,000 was paid in cash. A comparison of expected cash flows for the trucks indicates the exchange lacks commercial substance. What is the entry to record the trade-in?

Short Answer

Expert verified

New truck debited by $42,000, accumulated depreciation debited by $9,800, loss on disposal of trucks debited by $4,200, old trucks credited by $30,000 and cash credited by $26,000 to record the trade-in.
