Problem:
Bobby Jenks Company purchased machinery for $160,000 on January 1, 2004. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded based on a $10,000 salvage value and a 5-year useful life. The machinery was sold on May 1, 2008 at a gain of $3,000. How much cash did Bobby Jenks receive from the sale of the machinery?
Keach Company traded machinery with a book value of $285,000 and a fair value of $270,000. It received in exchange from Marlin Company a machine with a fair value of $300,000. Keach also paid cash of $30,000 in the exchange. Marlin's machine has a book value of $285,000. What amount of gain or loss should Keach recognize on the exchange?
