    The cost of the old computer server system was $210000

    The depreciation is $147000

    The book value of the old system is

    $210000 - $147000 = $63000

    With the additional cash

    $63000 + $180000 = $243000

    The new system costs $235000

    There is a difference of $10000.

    The journal entries for the given above would include the following:

    (1) Initial cost: $210,000

    (2) depreciation: $147,000

    (3) final value of old server: $63,000

    (4) cash on hand: $180,000

    In fact, the price of the depreciated old system is equal to $63,000 and that the money out of $180,000 will actually mean that the new system was bought for $243,000. This is slightly higher compared to the true price of the new system.
