On January 1, 2015, Ackerman sold equipment to Brannigan (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $370,000 in cash. The equipment had originally cost $350,000 but had a book value of only $265,000 when transferred. On that date, the equipment had a five-year remaining life. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.

Ackerman earned $470,000 in net income in 2015 (not including any investment income) while Brannigan reported $115,000. Ackerman attributed any excess acquisition-date fair value to Brannigans unpatented technology, which was amortized at a rate of $7,000 per year.
