Answer:

c. $357,000.

Explanation:

Since the exchange lacked commercial substance, the amount Kelso should record for the new equipment, for financial accounting purposes, is the actual amount paid in cash ($273,000) added to the old equipment's fair value ($84,000):

A = $273,000 + $84,000 = $357,000

Therefore, the answer is c. $357,000.
