The asset cost $280,000 and is depreciated for income tax purposes in the following amounts:

2018 $ 92,400

2019 123,200

2020 42,000

2021 22,400

The operational asset has a four-year life and no residual value. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting purposes. Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for each of the four years were as follows. 2018 2019 2020 2021 Accounting income before taxes and depreciation $ 150,000 $ 170,000 $ 160,000 $ 160,000 Assume the average and marginal income tax rate for 2018 and 2019 was 30%; however, during 2019 tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2020.

On January 1, 2018, Ackerman sold equipment to Brannigan (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $330,000 in cash. The equipment had originally cost $297,000 but had a book value of only $181,500 when transferred. On that date, the equipment had a five-year remaining life. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Ackerman reported $430,000 in net income in 2018 (not including any investment income) while Brannigan reported $140,900. Ackerman attributed any excess acquisition-date fair value to Brannigan's unpatented technology, which was amortized at a rate of $5,300 per year.

a) What is consolidated net income for 2018?

b) What is the parent's share of consolidated net income for 2018 if Ackerman owns only 90 percent of Brannigan?

c) What is the parent's share of consolidated net income for 2018 if Ackerman owns only 90 percent of Brannigan and the equipment transfer was upstream?

d) What is the consolidated net income for 2019 if Ackerman reports $450,000 (does not include investment income) and Brannigan $152,200 in income? Assume that Brannigan is a wholly owned subsidiary and the equipment transfer was downstream.
