Question

1. Items (a) through (c) represent transactions between Pero and Sean during 2016. Determine the dollar amount effect of the consolidating adjustment on 2016 consolidated net income. Ignore income tax considerations. Items to be answered: a. On January 3, 2016, Sean sold equipment with an original cost of $30,000 and a carrying value of $21,000 to Pero for $36,000. The equipment had a remaining life of three years and was depreciated using the straight-line method by both companies. b. During 2016, Sean sold merchandise to Pero for $60,000, which included a profit of $20,000. At December 31, 2016, half of this merchandise remained in Pero’s inventory. c. On December 31, 2016, Pero paid $94,000 to purchase 50% of the outstanding bonds issued by Sean. The bonds mature on December 31, 2022, and were originally issued at a discount. The bonds pay interest annually on December 31, and the interest was paid to the prior investor immediately before Pero’s purchase of the bonds.
