Answer:
Cost of new machine:
= List price of new machine - Trade allowance + Fair value of old machine
= $16,000 - $9,000 + $6,000
= $13,000
Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:
Cost of new machine A/c Dr. $13,000
Accumulated depreciation (Book Value) A/c Dr. $4,000
Loss on exchange of machine A/c Dr. $2,000
To Old Machine (Book Value) $12,000
To Cash (16,000 - 9,000) $7,000
(To record the machine exchange)
