Question

Purchase new office equipment by paying 93000Rs. Cash and trading in old equipment with a recorded cost of 7000Rs.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is a common practice to exchange a used PPE asset for a new one. This is known as a trade-in. The value of the trade-in agreed by the purchaser and seller is called the trade-in allowance. This amount is applied to the purchase price of the new asset, and the purchaser pays the difference. For instance, if the cost of a new asset is $10,000 and a trade-in allowance of $6,000 is given for the old asset, the purchaser will pay $4,000 ($10,000 – 6,000).
