Answer #1

In a case where exchange of assets involves 'commercial substance' i.e. significant change in future cashflows, then the entire gain in that case is recognized.

Where there is no commercial substance and the exchange of assets doesn't involve cash, no gain is recognized.

If some cash is RECEIVED by us, then gain recognized is. ((Cash received)/(Cash Rec'd.+ Fair value of asset received)). ×. Total gain

If some cash is paid(cash amount less than 25% of total fair value of the asset received) no gain is booked.

If cash paid is greater than 25% of fair value of asset received, than entire gain on the transaction is booked.
