    B. $15,000

    Explanation:

    First, we should understand that there is a difference between the book value and the fair value. This difference will either be a gain or a loss.

    Secondly, for the new truck/asset; it should be recognized based on the subtraction of the additional amount paid for the new asset from the fair value of asset exchanged.

    Therefore,

    The Value of the New Asset = Exchanged Asset's fair value - Consideration paid for the new asset

    = The value of the new asset = $20,000 - $5,000 = $15,000

    The Amount to be recorded for the truck received is $15,000
