Accounting

During the current year, a company exchanged an old truck costing $58,000 with accumulated depreciation of $52,000 for a new truck. The new truck had a cash price of $80,000 and the company received a trade-in allowance on the old truck with the balance of $64,000 paid in cash.

Assuming this transaction lacks commercial substance, in the journal entry to record the exchange,

what will happen to the new truck account - debit or credit?

What amount will be debited or credited to the new truck account? (Be sure to only type in the amount. Do not include $, commas, or decimal points.)
