r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

1.  $173,500

2. $ 71,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1: Solution

We can calculate the fair value of new parcel of land just by adding the current market price with additional cash paid to complete the transaction

Fair Value = Current market price + cash paid additionally

Fair Value = $150,000+$23,500

Fair value = $173,500

Requirement 2: Solution

We need to calculate Gain/loss on exchange first in order to record them on books. This can be done by just subtracting the land's book value from the current market price of land

Gain/loss on exchange = Current market price - book value

Gain/loss on exchange = $150,000 - $79,000

Gain/loss on exchange = $71,000
