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 $120,000, equipment that originally
cost $140,000. 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.

Answer:
Summary:-
01.01.2007 | Purchase of equipment | $ 140000 |
2007-2010 | Depreciation on SLM basis for 3 years | 140000 / 10 * 4 = $ 40000 |
01.01.2011 | Book Value on the date of sale | 140000 - 40000 = $ 100000 |
Sale value to parent | $ 120000 | |
Gain on sale recordd in subsidiary books | $ 20000 | |
Depreciation on SLM basis- in parent company books | 120000/6 = $ 20000 |
a) | |
Annual depreciation expense - subsidiary (Pre - Intercompany Sale) | $ 140000/10 = 14000 per year |
Annual depreciation expense - subsidiary ( Post-Intercompany Sale) | $ 120000/6 = 20000 per year |
b) | |
Gain on sale of equipment as explained in summary | $ 20000 |
c) | |
Total Gain recogninsed in subsidiary books-gone into consolidation | $ 20000 |
Extra depreciation provided in parent company owning transfer | $ 20000 - 14000 = $ 6000 |
Now in consolidation we have to eliminate inter - company profilr i.e., $ 20000 and this shall be netted with the extra depreciation and entry s follows | |
Gain on sale of equipment | $ 20000 |
To Equipmnet | $ 14000 |
To Depreciation | $ 6000 |
Depreciation Entry: | |
Expense (Depreciation) | $ 20000 |
To Equipment (Accumulated Depreciation) | $ 20000 |
Net Depreciation for equipment in consolidation is $ 20000 - $ 6000 | $ 14000 |
d) | |
Depreciation Entry: | |
Expense (Depreciation) | $ 20000 |
To Equipment (Accumulated Depreciation) | $ 20000 |
