Additional Information

1. On the date of combination, the fair value of Slice's depreciable assets was $48,000 more than book value. The accumulated depreciation on these assets was $10,000 on the acquisition date. The differential assigned to depreciable assets should be written off over the following 10-year period.
2. There was $13,000 of intercorporate receivables and payables at the end of 20X5.

Required:
a. Prepare all journal entries that Pizza recorded during 20X5 related to its investment in Slice. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b. Prepare all consolidation entries needed to prepare consolidated statements for 20X5. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

c. Prepare a three-part worksheet as of December 31, 20X5. (Values in the first two columns (the "parent" and "subsidiary" balances) that are to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign, while all values in the "Consolidation Entries" columns should be entered as positive values. For accounts where multiple adjusting entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet.)
