The company uses the straight-line method. It was traded on August 1,2011 , for a similar truck costing $\$ 42,000 ; \$ 16,000$ was allowed as trade-in value (also fair value) on the old truck and $\$ 26,000$ was paid in cash. A comparison of expected cash flows for the trucks indicates the exchange lacks commercial substance. What is the entry to record the trade-in?
