Sagot :

Answer: $2,480,000

Explanation:

The amount of consolidated Building at December 31, 2020 will be:

Book value of High by Dec. 2020 = 1,500,000

Add: Book value of low by Dec. 2020 = 900,000

Add: Increase in fair value = (600000 - 400000) = 200000

Less: Incremental depreciation = 200,000 × 3/5 = 120,000

Consolidated building = 1,500,000 + 900,000 + 200,000 - 120,000

= 2,480,000
