Woody Corporation acquired 70% of Buzz Company’s voting common stock on January 1, 20X3, for $158,900. Buzz reported common stock outstanding of $100,000 and retained earnings of $85,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was 68,100 on the date of acquisition. Buildings and equipment held by Buzz had a fair value that was $25,000 higher than book value. The remainder of the differential was assigned to a copyright held by Buzz. Buildings and Equipment had a 10-year remaining life and the copyright had a 5-year life on the date of acquisition.
On January 1, 20X5, Buzz sold equipment to Woody for $91,600. Buzz had purchased this equipment on January 1, 20X3 for $100,000 and depreciated it using straight-line depreciation over 10 years with an estimated residual value of $10,000. No change was made to the estimated economic life or residual value of the equipment as a result of the intercompany transfer. Woody uses the fully adjusted equity method.
What entry is needed to eliminate Buzz’s gain on the sale of equipment to Woody?
a. |
Dr. Gain on Sale 9,600 Dr. Equipment 8,400 Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 18,000 |

As if: Equipment as recorded in the financial statements as if it had not been transferred (Equipment Dr. 100000, Accumulated Depreciation Cr. 18000)
Difference of the above recorded entries would be: Equipment Dr. 8400, Gain on sale Dr. 9600, Accumulated Depreciation Cr. 18000
Thus, entry needed to eliminate Buzz’s gain on the sale of equipment to Woody:
