The Tinsley Company exchanged land that it had been holding for future plant expansion for a more suitable parcel located farther from residential areas. Tinsley carried the land at its original cost of $62,500. According to an independent appraisal, the land currently is worth $150,000. Tinsley paid $25,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required: 1. What is the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance

$175,000

Explanation:

When an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the accounting standard IAS 16 requires that the cost price of the item acquired be at fair Value of the asset given up.

Fair Value of Asset given up is $150,000.

However Tinsley has also paid a trade -in allowance for the new parcel of land of $25,000.

Therefore, the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance is $175,000 ($150,000 + $25,000)
