a) JOURNAL ENTRIES

    Debit Retained Earnings $5,850,000 , Debit Accumulated depreciation $650,000  , Credit Building $6,500,000.

Debit  Depreciation $325,000 Credit Accumulated depreciation $325000.

( this is the depreciation for the year on the profit made on the sale by the subsidiary)

b) The balance on the trial balance of Pearl for the asset will be a Carrying balance ( $8,000,000 - [(8000000/20)*3] = $8000000-1200000 =$6,800,000

profit on sale = selling price - carrying value

                      =$8,000,000 - ($10,000,000- $8,500,000)

                      = $8,000,000 - $1,500,000

                      = $6,500,000

depreciation on profit = $6500000/20 = 325,000

accum dep = (325000*2yrs)= $650,000
