Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

When an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the accounting standard IAS 16 requires that the cost price of the item acquired be at fair Value of the asset given up.

Fair Value of Asset given up is $150,000.

However Tinsley has also paid a trade -in allowance for the new parcel of land of $25,000.

Therefore, the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance is $175,000 ($150,000 + $25,000)
