    The consolidated balance for the equipment account as of December 31, 2020 is $652,000.

    Explanation:

    the original price allocation = $660,000 - $420,000

    = $24000

    (240000/10years) * 3 years = $72,000

    consolidated equipment

    = book value + other company book value + original purchase price allocation - amortization of allocation

    = $420,000 + $280,000 + $24000 - $72,000

    = $652,000

    Therefore, The consolidated balance for the equipment account as of December 31, 2020 is $652,000.
