Answer:
option (D) loss, $3,000
Explanation:
Given:
price of the truck = $48,000
estimated residual value = $8,000
Exchange price of the truck = $60,000
Trade allowance = $35,000
Since, straight line depreciation is given, thus,
Total depreciation =
or
Total depreciation = $5,000 per year
Therefore,
the book value after two years
= Price of truck - total depreciation in two years
or
= $48,000 − ($5,000 × 2 years)
= $38,000
Now,
a trade allowance received ( i.e $35,000 ) is less than the book value
therefore a loss is recorded
The amount of loss = (Book value - trade allowance received)
or
The amount of loss = $38,000 - $35,000 = $3,000
Hence, correct answer is option (D) loss, $3,000
