Respuesta :

Answer:

$1,104,000

Explanation:

The computation of consolidated balance for the Equipment account is shown below:-

Goehler Equipment with a book value          $975,000

Kenneth equipment                                  $105,000

Original purchase price allocated

to Kenneth's equipment                                  $30,000  

($120,000 - $90,000 )

Allocation for Amortization                             $6,000

($30,000 × 2) ÷ 10

Consolidated balance for the Equipment     $1,104,000

($975,000 + $105,000 + $30,000 - $6,000 )
