        how to recognise revenue for trade ins
       
                  
        We are in the business of selling product X (Large Machinery) We have a new customer, who currently has a competitors product. The sale is constructed as follows, We take away the old machine and give them a new one. The product is leased. The leasing company gives us the entire value. The Value of the machine traded in has to be paid back to the compettior. I am struggling with the revenue recognition and journalising of all these transactions,
 
 Total sale $7K+tade in $2K. Cheque receieved from the leasing company 9K. Cheque payable to competitor $2K
