The used machine has a book value of $8,000 (original cost of $12,000, accumulated depreciation of $4,000) and a fair value of $6,000.

The new model lists for $16,000.

Denver gives Metro a trade-in allowance of $9,000 for the used machine.

    Cost of new machine:

    = List price of new machine - Trade allowance + Fair value of old machine

    = $16,000 - $9,000 + $6,000

    = $13,000

    Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

    Cost of new machine A/c Dr. $13,000

    Accumulated depreciation (Book Value) A/c Dr. $4,000

    Loss on exchange of machine A/c Dr. $2,000

    To Old Machine (Book Value) $12,000

    To Cash (16,000 - 9,000) $7,000

    (To record the machine exchange)
