Explanation / Answer

1.1

book value of tractor=$14,000

Fair value for exchange=$9,400

loss on exchange=$14,000-$9,400=$4,600

NEw cost of the tractor=Fair value+Cash paid for exchange=$9,400+$24,000=$33,400

1.2 if fair value of the asset=$18,000

then Gain=$18,000-$14,000=$4,000

NEw cost of the tractor=Fair value+Cash paid for exchange=$18,000+$24,000=$42,000

2.1 land book value=$520,000

Fair value of land=$740,00

gain on exchange=$740,000-$520,000=$220,000

New land cost=Fair value+Cash paid for exchange=$740,000+$54,000=$794,000

2.2 if fair value is $416,000 instead of $740,000

loss on exchange=-$416,000+$520,000=$104,000

new land cost=$416,000+$54,000=$470,000
