    The machine will be recorded at 38,500

    Explanation:

    First we work the old machine numbers

    traded-out

    purchased 30,000

    depreciation (22,500)

    book value 7, 500

    fair value 5,500 (A)

    loss on disposal 2, 000 (diference between book value and fair value)

    (A) the invoice has a cost 38,500 we paid 33,000 cash so the value of the old machine on this trasaction was 5,500

    The transaction has commercial substance so we recognize the new machine at his fair value and recognize the loss on dispossal

    This would be the journal entry:

    machine 38,500 the machine enter the accounting at fair value

    acc dep 22,500

    loss on disposal 2,000 we recognize the loss on disposal

    machine 30,000

    cash 33,000
