Question: (Entries for Equipment Acquisitions) Jane Geddes Engineering Corporation purchased conveyor equipment with a list price of \(10,000. Presented below are three independent cases related to the equipment. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

  1. Geddes paid cash for the equipment 8 days after the purchase. The vendor’s credit terms are 2/10, n/30. Assume that equipment purchases are initially recorded gross.
  2. Geddes traded in equipment with a book value of \)2,000 (initial cost \(8,000), and paid \)9,500 in cash one month after the purchase. The old equipment could have been sold for \(400 at the date of trade. (The exchange has commercial substance.)
  3. Geddes gave the vendor a \)10,800 zero-interest-bearing note for the equipment on the date of purchase. The note was due in one year and was paid on time. Assume that the effective-interest rate in the market was 9%.

Instructions

Prepare the general journal entries required to record the acquisition and payment in each of the independent cases above.

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?
