- To record decrease balance of account: Credit assets, expenses, losses and debit liabilities, capital, revenue and gains

Table (12)
- Machine (new) is an asset and it is increased. Therefore, debit machine (new) account by $80,000.
- Accumulated depreciation for machine is a contra asset and it is decreased. Therefore, debit Accumulated depreciation for machine account by $70,000.
- Machine (old) is an asset and it is decreased. Therefore, credit machine (old) account by $150,000.
Note: “Item e” does not have commercial substance therefore, the gain is deferred.

Explain the justification of different accounting between the exchanges having commercial substance versus the exchanges without commercial substance.
3.
Explanation of Solution
The economic condition of the both companies change and the expected cash flows in future moderately change due to exchange, thus difference accounting is justified, if an exchange is having commercial substance. So, that gains and losses are identified during the time of exchange. On the other hand, if an exchange is without a commercial substance, both of the companies are in the equal economic position. Thus, while the principle of “conservatism” permits recognition of losses, a company will defer gains unless a transaction occurs to modify the cash flow of the company.

- The Lewis Company acquired a large, highly-automated machine for $3,000,000 on February 28, 2016.
