Prepare consolidation spreadsheet for intercompany sale of equipmentCost method Assume that a parent company acquired a subsidiary on January 1, 2012 for $817,000. The purchase price was $284,000 in excess of the book value of the subsidiarys Stockholders Equity on the acquisition date. On the acquisition date, the subsidiarys stockholders equity was comprised of $390,000 of no-par common stock and $143,000 of retained earnings. The Acquisition Accounting Premium (AAP) was assigned as follows: an increase of $8,000 in accounts receivable that were entirely collected during the year after acquisition, an increase of $65,000 for property, plant and equipment that has 10 years of remaining useful life, $99,000 for an unrecorded patent with an 8-year remaining life and $112,000 for goodwill. All amortizable components of the AAP are amortized using the straight-line method.

On January 1, 2014, the parent sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $127,200. The parent had acquired the equipment at a cost of $123,300 and depreciated the equipment over its 12-year useful life using the straight-line method (no salvage value). The parent had depreciated the equipment for 2 years at the time of sale. The subsidiary retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 10-year useful life.

Following are financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2016. The parent uses the cost method of pre-consolidation investment bookkeeping.
