Buffalo Company purchased a heavy-duty truck on July 1, 2014, for $30,360. It was estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years and then would have a trade-in value of $6,480. The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1, 2018, for a similar truck costing $42,189; $16,699 was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $25,490 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

    The answer is given below;

    Explanation:

    Cost of Truck July 1,2014 $30,360

    Accumulated Depreciation (30,360-6,480) / 10=2,388*4 = ($9,552)

    Written Down Value as at August 1,2018 $20,808

    Truck New Dr.$42,189

    Loss on Old Truck ($20,808-16,699) Dr.$4,109

    Accumulated Depreciation Dr.$9,552

    Cash Cr.$25,490

    Old Truck-Cost Cr.$30,360

    There was a loss of $4,109 on old truck as it was traded below its written down value.
