Notes

Rollins owns 100% of Felix.

Equipment bought on 01/01/2002 Rollins: 100000

Depreciation method used is Straight Line method, with an useful life of 10 years; which means depreciation per year is $10000.

So depreciation for the years 2002 to 2008 (7 years) is $70000 (accumulated depreciation).

On 01/01/2009, the equipment has book value of $30000 ($100000-$70000) which is sold to Felix for $80000, resulting in profit to Rollins of $50000 ($80000-$30000), which is notional as it owns 100% of Felix.

For Felix the Purchase price of the equipment is $80000 as on 01/01/2009, with a useful life of 5 years and it uses Straight Line method of depreciation , which means an annual depreciation of $16000, which thereby leads to excess depreciation of $6000 ($16000-$10000) per year.
