On January 1, 20X7, Block sold equipment to Foster for $48,000. Block had purchased the equipment for $90,000 on January 1, 20X5, and was depreciating it on a straight-line basis with a 10-year expected life and no anticipated scrap value. The equipment’s total expected life is unchanged as a result of the intercompany sale. Assume Foster uses the fully adjusted equity method.
