Point 1: On January 1, 2018, Ackerman sold equipment to Brannigan (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $130,000 in cash. The equipment had originally cost $117,000 but had a book value of only $71,500 when transferred. On that date, the equipment had a five-year remaining life. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.
Point 2: Ackerman reported $530,000 in net income in 2018 (not including any investment income) while Brannigan reported $173,900. Ackerman attributed any excess acquisition-date fair value to Brannigan's unpatented technology, which was amortized at a rate of $6,300 per year.
Question 1: What is consolidated net income for 2018?
Question 2: What is the parent's share of consolidated net income for 2018 if Ackerman owns only 90 percent of Brannigan?
Question 3: 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?
Question 4: What is the consolidated net income for 2019 if Ackerman reports $550,000 (does not include investment income) and Brannigan $186,200 in income? Assume that Brannigan is a wholly owned subsidiary and the equipment transfer was downstream.
