Part a. Sparrow Company bought a truck by giving a check to the seller. The seller asked for $11,000, but Sparrow negotiated and was able to buy the truck for only $10,000. The owner of Sparrow, Rehn Byrd, believes he got a great deal because he believes the truck is actually worth the entire $11,000 that the seller was asking, or perhaps even more, but the seller needed to raise cash quickly, and that is why Rehn was able to have Sparrow Company buy it for $10,000.
Required: Make the journal entry that Sparrow ought to have made when it bought the truck.
