Preparing the [I] consolidation journal entries for sale of
depreciable assets - Equity method
Assume that on January 1, 2011, a wholly owned subsidiary sells to
its parent, for a sale price of $126,000, equipment that originally
cost $148,000. The subsidiary originally purchased the equipment on
January 1, 2007, and depreciated the equipment assuming a 10-year
useful life (straight-line with no salvage value). The parent has
adopted the subsidiary's depreciation policy and depreciates the
equipment over the remaining useful life of 6 years. The parent
uses the full equity method to account for its Equity
Investment.

a1. Annual depreciation expense-subsidiary Annual depreciation expense-subsidiary = (148000 - 0) / 10 Annual depreciation expense-subsidiary = $14800 |
a2. Annual depreciation expense-parent
Annual depreciation expense-Parent = (Cost - Salvage) / Useful Life
Annual depreciation expense-Parent = (126000 - 0) / 6
Annual depreciation expense-Parent = $21000
b. Gain on sale recognized by subsidiary
Gain on sale recognized by subsidiary = Sale Proceeds - (Cost - Depreciation till January 2011)
Gain on sale recognized by subsidiary = 126000 - (148000 - 14800 * 4)
Gain on sale recognized by subsidiary = 126000 - (148000 - 59200)
Gain on sale recognized by subsidiary = 37200
