    PeopleMag cannot report a gain on the sale of land for 2007 or 2008 in the consolidated financial statements

    Explanation:

    PeopleMag cannot report a gain on the sale of land for 2007 or 2008 in the consolidated financial statements. The land must be reported on the consolidated balance sheet at its original cost of $75,000. The intercompany gain is unrealized and is eliminated. In 2009, the entire gain of $45,000 ($120,000 - $75,000) is realized and recognized when the land is sold to an outside party.
