At the date of transfer, Smeder’s records carried the equipment at a cost of $120,000 less accumulated depreciation of $48,000. Straight-line depreciation is used. Smeder reported net income of $28,000 and $32,000 for 2023 and 2024, respectively. All net income effects of the intra-entity transfer are attributed to the seller for consolidation purposes.
