Question:

Hilton Corporation sold a press to its 80%-owned subsidiary, Agri Fab Inc., for $5,000 on January 1, 2016. The press originally was purchased by Hilton on January 1, 2015, for $20,000, and $6,000 of depreciation for 2015 had been recorded. The fair value of the press on January 1, 2016, was $10,000. Agri Fab proceeded to depreciate the press on a straight-line basis, using a 5-year life and no salvage value. On December 31, 2017, Agri Fab, having no further need for the machine, sold it for $2,000 and recorded a loss on the sale.
