Answer:

2. Credit equipment $100,000

3. Debit accumulated depreciation $60,000

Explanation:

When a company trades with another pieces of equipment gain or losses are recognized when there is commercia lsubstance. If not, then the trade-in equipment is posted as the net book value of the old equipment

In both cases, the old equipment is write-off  thus:

credit equipment for 100,000

and debit accumualted overhead for 60,000
