On Joker's separate balance sheet equipment amount would appear

= $470,000

On Velway consolidated balance sheet equipment amount would appear

= $970,000

Explanation:

Given:

Velway Book value of the equipment = $500,000

Velway Fair value of the equipment = $640,000

Joker book value of the equipment = $400,000

Joker Fair value of the equipment = $470,000

Now,

On Joker's separate balance sheet equipment amount would appear

= Fair value of equipment

= $470,000

And,

On Velway consolidated balance sheet equipment amount would appear as

= Book value of equipment of Velway + Fair value of equipment of joker

= $500,000 + $470,000

= $970,000
