Frazer Corporation purchased 60 percent of Minnow Corporation’s voting common stock on January 1, 20X1. On January 1, 20X5, Frazer received $237,000 from Minnow for a truck Frazer had purchased on January 1, 20X2, for $287,000. The truck is expected to have a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. Both companies depreciate trucks on a straight-line basis. I come up with Gain on Sale 36100 Truck 50,00 Accum Dep 86,100 But I cannot calculate out the Adjusted Depreciation. I came out to 5,000 one time and 4,800 the other. How do I calculate it out to Adjust the Depreciation? The cost above are correct according to check my work but I fail at the accum dep.
