    D. Credit for $2.5 million

    Explanation:

    The depreciation expense to be recorded in the subsidiary individual accounts in respect of equipment is given below:

    Depreciation expense to recorded in subsidiary accounts=$40 million/10

    =$4 million

    Since for the consolidated accounts we consider the fair value of the assets of the subsidiary and not the book values of assets, so for the purpose of consolidation, the depreciation expense of the equipment shall be recorded based on its fair value and not its book value in the following manner:

    Depreciation expense to recorded in consolidated accounts=$15 million/10

    =$1.5 million

    Effect on consolidated depreciation expense = depreciation expense recorded in subsidiary accounts-depreciation expense recorded in consolidated accounts

    Effect on consolidated depreciation expense=$4 million-$1.5 million

    =$2.5 million

    So based on the above calculation, the answer is D. Credit for $2.5 million

    B Debit for $2.5 million

    Explanation:

    Taking the book value and subtracting the fair value we get $25 mil

    $40 MIL - $15 MIL=$25 MIL

    So the depreciation expense over the ten years is

    $25 mil/10 years = $2.5 mil
