: On January 1, 2012, Smeder Company, an 80% owned subsidiary of Collins, Inc. transferred equipment with a 10-year life (six of which remain with no salvage value) to Collins in exchange for $84,000 cash. At the date of transfer, Smeder's records carried the equipment at a historical cost of $120,000 less accumulated depreciation of $48,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. Smeder reported net income of $28,000 for 2012 and 2013, respectively. Prepare the consolidation entries related to the equipment for year 2012 and year 2013

See the explanation below

Explanation:

Net book value (NBV)) = $120,000 - $48,000 = $72,000

Unrealized profit on sales of equipment = Selling price - NBV = $84,000 - $72,000 = $12,000

Annual depreciation = $120,000/10 = $12,000

Overcharged depreciation included = $12,000 * 10% = $1,200
