During 20X2, Power recorded $41,500 as health care expense for medical care given to its employees by Swift. Swift’s costs incurred in providing the services to Power were $33,000. (Leave no cells blank, enter "0" wherever required.)

a. By what amount will consolidated net income change when the intercompany services are eliminated in preparing Power’s consolidated statements for 20X2?

If in its consolidated income statement for 20X2 Power had reported total health care costs of $88,000, what was the cost to Swift of providing health care services to its own employees?
