a) Worksheet consolidation entry needed on December 31,2016 to remove the effects of the intercompany sale-
a.Purchase price of Truck by Pam on 01.01.2012 = $34,500
b. Life of Truck = 15 years
c. Depreciation to be charged each year (a/b) = 34500/15
= $ 2,300
d. Accumulated depreciation upto 31.12.2016( 5 years) = 2300*5
= 11,500
e. Value of Truck in books of Pam on 31.12.2016 (c-d)= 34500- 11500
= $ 23,000
f. Purchase value of Truck by Spray Enterprises = $ 29,500
g. Gain on sale (f-e) = 29500-23000
= $6,500
Since, Spray Enterprises should record the value of truck as if the sale did not occur, the amount to be recorded in the books of Spray enterprises is $ 34,500(i.e the purchase price of Pam)
h.Extra amount to be debited to the value of truck(a-f)= 34500-29500
=$ 5000
Worksheet consolidation entry-
Gain on Sale A/c Dr. 6,500
Truck A/c Dr. 5,000
To Accumulated Depreciation A/c 11,500
