Equipment costing $118,000 has accumulated depreciation of $94,000. The equipment is a trade-in for new equipment costing $196,000. If the trade-in value received for the old equipment is $28,000, the journal entry to record this transaction is to:

A) debit Equipment (New) for $196,000, and credit Cash for $196,000.
B) debit Equipment (New) for $196,000, debit Accumulated Depreciation – Equipment for $94,000, credit Equipment (Old) for $118,000 and credit Cash for $172,000.
C) debit Equipment (New) for $196,000, debit Accumulated Depreciation – Equipment for $94,000, debit Loss on Exchange of Assets for $24,000, credit Equipment (Old) for $118,000, credit Cash for $196,000.
