Assume that a parent company owns a 100% controlling interest in its long-held subsidiary. On December 31, 2013, a parent company sold equipment to the subsidiary for $118,000. The equipment originally cost the parent $180,000, and accumulated depreciation through December 31, 2013 was $36,000. The parent depreciated the equipment for 10 years using the straight-line method and no salvage value. After the transfer, the subsidiary will depreciate the equipment for 8 years with no salvage value. Related to the transferred equipment, which of the following items is true regarding the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013?A. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Equipment (gross)"B. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 credit to "Loss on Sale of Equipment"C. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Gain on Sale of Equipment"D. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 credit to "Accumulated depreciation"

Answer:

Related to the transferred equipment, the items that is true regarding the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013 is:

C. The consolidation entries will include a $26,000 debit to "Gain on Sale of Equipment."

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Original cost of the equipment to the parent = $180,000

Transfer of equipment to subsidiary =                 (118,000)

Accumulated depreciation to December 31,        (36,000)

Unaccounted balance =                                          26,000

b) The unaccounted balance of $26,000 needs to be credited to the parent's Equipment account to remove it from the account.  This will have a corresponding debit entry in another account.  The only correct entry among the options is C.

Cale Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Cale sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 7%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Cale that cost Cale $100 to buy from manufacturers, Cale would charge the hospital $107 to purchase these supplies.For years, Cale believed that the 7% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Cale decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total ActivityCustomer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $420,000 5,000 deliveriesManual order processing (Number of manual orders) 624,000 8,000 ordersElectronic order processing (Number of electronic orders)170,000 10,000 ordersLine item picking (Number of line items picked) 675,000 450,000 line itemsOther organization-sustaining costs (None) 650,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $2,539,000 Cale gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—Georgetown and Providence (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Cale $38,000 to buy from manufacturers): ActivityActivity Measure University Memorial Number of deliveries 16 28Number of manual orders 0 49Number of electronic orders 18 0Number of line items picked 190 210Required:1. Compute the total revenue that Cale would receive from Georgetown and Providence.2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.3.
