Table (1)

Working note:

Determine the value of new building.

Value of building = Fair value (Building)Cashpaid= $1,400,000$140,000=$1,260,000

Determine the gain on exchange of assets.

Gain on exchange of asset = ((Fair value of Company S's asset)(Original cost of Company S'sasset  Accumulated depreciation) )= ($1,400,000)($2,000,000$1,200,000)=$1,400,000$800,000=$600,000

  • Cash is an asset account, and increased. Therefore, debit Cash account with $140,000.
  • New Building increases the asset account. Hence, debit New Equipment account with $1,260,000.
  • Accumulated depreciation – old asset is a contra asset. It increases the value of asset account. Therefore, debit Accumulated Depreciation with $1,200,000.
  • Old Building is an asset account, and decreased. Therefore, credit Old Equipment account with $2,000,000.
  • Gain on sale of exchange of assets increases the equity by $10,000. Hence, credit Gain on sale of exchange of assets with $600,000.
