Question

Cullumber Company purchased a heavy-duty truck on July 1, 2014, for $33,120. It was estimated that it would have a useful life of 10 years and then would have a trade-in value of $5,640. The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1, 2018, for a similar truck costing $48,059; $18,229 was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $29,830 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?

I can't figure out the debits for accumulated Depreciation and Loss on Disposal of Trucks. I had 10,992 for Accumulated depreciation and 3,899 for Loss on Disposal of Trucks. But that is incorrect. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
