    The complete journal entry should be:

    Dr Equipment account 50,000

    Dr Accumulated Depreciation account 70,000

    Cr Gain on Exchange of Asset account 30,000

    Cr Equipment account 90,000

    Explanation:

    The new equipment must be recorded at fair market value ($50,000) which results in a net gain = $50,000 - ($90,000 - $70,000) = $30,000
