Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $120,000 but had a $73,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $96,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2021, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer?
