Answer:

C. The equipment should be recorded at $2,000 in the accounting records because that was the exchange price.

Explanation:

The equipment should simply be recorded at $2,000. For example, if it was paid in cash, the journal entry would be:

Account                      Debit           Credit

Equipment                $2,000

Cash                                                $2,000

The fact that it would cost $4,000 to replace it does not mean that it will be replaced. It is only a hypothetical scenario that should not be recorded in the accounting journal, because it does not reflect economic reality.
