    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    At the time, the equipment was reported on the parent's books at a net book value of $60,000. The remaining life of the equipment as of January 1, 2018, is six years, and straight-line depreciation, no residual value is used.

    To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:

    A) Annual depreciation = (book value) / estimated life (years)

    Annual depreciation = 60,000/6 = 10,000

    Value on December 31, 2020:

    Book value = original value - accumulated depreciation

    Book value = 60,000 - 10,000*3 = 30,000
