Answer & Explanation:

The carrying value of the company is $3000 ($23000 - $20000) and the amount paid is $700 for the exchange of a truck worth $5700. The entry for such an exchange will be:

Dr Truck- Accumuated Depreciation $20000

Dr New Truck (Balancing amount)      $3700

Cr                                                   Asset  Cost             $23000

Cr                                                  Cash   Paid               $700

So the new value that must be recognized as asset value in the Statement of Financial Position for the year is $3700.

So the option C is correct.
