    Loss on exchange is - $7,800

    initial value of tractor is $42,200

    Gain on exchange is $8000

    Initial value of tractor is $58,000

    Explanation:

    The amount of gain or loss recognizable on the exchange is the difference between the fair value of the old asset and its book value

    Loss on the asset=$10,200-$18,000=-$7,800

    Initial value of the new tractor=fair value of the old tractor+cash payment

    Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$10,200=$42,200

    If fair value were $26,000

    gain on the exchage=$26,000-$18,000=$8,000

    Initial value of the new tractor=$32,000+$26,000=$58,000
