Case A. Kapono Farms exchanged an old tractor for a newer model. The old tractor had a book value of $17,500 (original cost of $39,000 less accumulated depreciation of $21,500) and a fair value of $10,100. Kapono paid $31,000 cash to complete the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance. Required:1.1 What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange?1.2 What is the initial value of the new tractor? Assume the fair value of the old tractor is $25,000 instead of $10,100.2.1 What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange?
2.2 What is the initial value of the new tractor? Case B. Kapono Farms exchanged 100 acres of farmland for similar land. The farmland given had a book value of $555,000 and a fair value of $810,000. Kapono paid $61,000 cash to complete the exchange. The exchange has commercial substance. Required:1.1 What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange?1.2 What is the initial value of the new land? Assume the fair value of the farmland given is $444,000 instead of $810,000.2.1 What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange?2.2 What is the initial value of the new land? Repeat requirement 1 of case B, assuming that the exchange lacked commercial substance.3.1 What is the amount of gain or loss that Kapono would recognize on the exchange? 3.2 What is the initial value of the new land?

Explanation:

Consider the problem A. It deals with a tractor. $39,000 will be registered as the original cost. Till date depreciation charged is $21,500. Difference amid initial cost and accumulated depreciation is written down value.

Original cost                                               $39,000

Less: Accumulated depreciation              $21,500

Written down value                                    $17,500

Less: Fair value of old tractor                    $10,100

Loss                                                              $7,400

Answer 1.2:

A new tractor has been replaced for an old one. The Cash of $10,100 has been paid. therefore cost of the new truck will be fair value of old truck plus cash paid. consequently initial cost of new truck is:

Amount paid in cash                              $31,000

Add: Fair value of old truck                   $10,100

Initial value of new tractor                     $41,100

of part 2.1:

If the fair value of old tractor is $25,000 instead of $10,100, then profit or gain from exchange of old truck is:

Fair value of old tractor                                $25,000

Less: written down value of old tractor       $17,500

Gain from tractor                                           $7,500

Answer of 2.2:

As old truck has been exchanged for new one, initial cost of new tractor is:

Fair value of old tractor                        $25,000

Add: cash paid                                      $31,000

Initial cost of new tractor                      $46,000

Case B:

Fair value                                                   $810,000

Less: book value                                       $555,000

Gain from exchange of old land               $255,000

Answer 1.2:

Initial cost of new land exchanged for old one is:

Fair value of old land                           $810,000

Add: Cash paid for new land               $61,000

Cost of new land                                  $871,000
