their reported book values. On January 1,2020, the subsidiary purchased a building for $604,800 The building has a useful life of 8 years and is depreciated on a straight-line basis with no
salvage value. On January 1,2022, the subsidiary sold the building to the parent for $504,000 The parent estimated that the building had a six-year remaining useful life and no salvage value.

related to preconsolidation investment accounting) is $630,000. The subsidiary's recorded net income is $126,000.
