Answer:

There is a 1,500 gain

Explanation:

we have commercial subtance so we can recognize gain/loss

these will be the numebrs of the transaction:

truck

purchase             24,000

acc depreciation 17, 000

book value            7, 000

equipment 8,000

cash               500

total            8,500

received - given up = gain/loss

8,500      -    7,000  = 1,500 gain

the journal entry would be

Equipment      8,000 debit

cash                    500 debit

acc dep truck 17,000 debit

           Truck              24,000 credit
