cost $120,000. The parent originally purchased the equipment on
January 1, 2012, and depreciated the equipment assuming a 12-year
useful life (straight-line with no salvage value). The subsidiary

equipment over the remaining useful life of 8 years. The parent
uses the cost method of pre-consolidation investment
