An automobile costs $60,000 when new and has accumulated depreciation of $35,000. suppose the automobile is exchanged for a new automobile. the new automobile has a market value of $70,000 and we pay $45,000 in cash. assume the exchange has commercial substance. what is the result of this exchange?
(a) no gain or loss.
(b) gain of $5,000
(c) loss of $5,000
(d) gain of $45,000

The correct answer here would be A) no gain or loss .

Explanation:

As per the question it is given that the exchange has commercial substance , which means the automobile which cost $60,0000 and has accumulated depreciation of $35,000, will have the book value of $25,000 ( $60,000 - $35,000 ) .

Now the exchanged automobile has market value of $70,000, which means a total of $70,000 has to be given , so by exchanging the automobile we have paid $25,000 and then later by paying cash of $45,000, the full market value of $70,000 has been paid. So therefore there would be no loss or gain .

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
