Additional Information

No further impairment occurred in 20X7.
On January 1, 20X5, Suspect sold land for $19,000 that had cost $10,000 to Prime.
On January 1, 20X6, Prime sold to Suspect equipment that it had purchased for $58,000 on January 1, 20X1. The equipment has a total 10-year economic life and was sold to Suspect for $37,500. Both companies use straight-line depreciation.

Required:
a. Prepare a reconciliation between the balance in Primes Investment in Suspect Company account reported on December 31, 20X7, and Suspects book value.
Note: Enter the proportion of stock held as a fraction (i.e., 0.75), not in percent.
b-1. Prepare all worksheet consolidation entries needed as of December 31, 20X7.
Note: If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.
b-2. Complete a three-part consolidation worksheet for 20X7.
Note: Values in the first two columns (the "parent" and "subsidiary" balances) that are to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign, while all values in the "Consolidation Entries" columns should be entered as positive values. For accounts where multiple adjusting entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet.
