    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Increase in equipment value as on 01-Jan 2019:

    = Market value - Book value

    = $18,000 - $14,000

    = $4000

    Depreciation for 2019:

    = $4000 : 4

    = $1000

    Depreciation for 2020:

    = $4000 : 4

    = $1000

    In consolidation adjustment to equipment at Dec 31,2020:

    = Increase in equipment value - Depreciation for 2019 - Depreciation for 2020

    = $4000 - $1000 - $1000

    = $2000 Increase
