    The answer is: B) $24,000

    Explanation:

    This type of exchange is classified as a like-kind exchange (1031 exchange); it is a transaction that allows a company to dispose an asset and acquire another replacement asset without generating a tax liability from the sale of the replaced asset.

    $40,000 (replacement asset) + $4,000 (cash paid) - $20,000 (replaced asset) = $24,000
