2018 Son sold land with a book value of $20,000 to Pop at its fair market value of $27,500. This land is to be used as a future plant site by Pop.
2018 Pop sold equipment with a four-year remaining useful life to Son on January 1 for $40,000. This equipment had a book value of $25,000 at the time of sale and was still in use by Son at December 31, 2019.

The separate income of Pop (excludes income from Son) and the reported net income of Son for 2016 through 2019 were:

REQUIRED:
Compute Pop's net income (and the controlling share of consolidated net income) for each of the years 2016 through 2019. A schedule with columns for each year is suggested as the most efficient approach to solve this problem. (Use straight-line depreciation and amortization and take a full year's depreciation on the equipment sold to Son in 2018.)
