    journaling straight line depreciation.
    This is a two part question I'm so confused.

    A) ABC Company decided to trade in computer #48 for a new computer #50 and paid $20,000 cash. Computer #50 will be used for 3 years with the salavage/trade-in value of $15,000. Invoice for exchange showed the following:

    Price of new computer #50 $90,000
    Trade-in allowance granted on old computer #48 $70,000
    Total of purchase price paid in cash $20,000

    B) Please record straight line depreciation on computer # 50.

    I'm sorry I only see the question for part B, which is:
    New Computer : $90,000
    Minus Salvage : $15,000
    Equals : $75,000

    Depreciatiion expense for one year is: $75,000/3 = $25,000

    Hope this helps
