Photo Industries has owned 80 percent of Shutter Corporation for many years. On January 1, 20X6, Photo paid Shutter $270,000 to acquire equipment that Shutter had purchased on January 1, 20X3, for $300,000. The equipment is expected to have no scrap value and is depreciated over a 15-year useful life. Photo reported operating earnings of $100,000 for 20X8 and paid dividends of $40,000. Shutter reported net income of $40,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 in 20X8. (Leave no cell blank, enter "0" wherever required.) Required: a.
