Morning!
I have two assets with NBV of $1,000 each. The company from which these were originally purchased the equipment replaced the two with one new machine valued at $8,000.00. The cost of each machine was originally $3,000. Since I have a gain of about $6,000 what value do I give the new equipment? I can retire the old assets and recognize the $1,000 each but how do I calculate the new machine? Since we did not pay any cash, I can't use the ITC.
Thanks!
