Question:

In its 20X7 consolidated income statement, Skekel Development Company reported consolidated net income of \(\$ 921,000\) and \(\$ 45,000\) of income assigned to the 30 percent noncontrolling interest in its only subsidiary, Subsidence Mining, Inc. During the year, Subsidence had sold a previously mined parcel of land to Skekel for a new housing development; the sales price to Skekel was \(\$ 500,000\) and the land had a carrying amount at the time of sale of \(\$ 560,000\). At the beginning of the previous year, Skekel had sold excavation and grading equipment to Subsidence for \(\$ 240,000\); the equipment had a remaining life of six years as of the date of sale and a book value of \(\$ 210,000\). The equipment originally had cost \(\$ 350,000\) when purchased by Skekel on January 2, 20X2. The equipment never was expected to have any salvage value.

Skekel had purchased its investment in Subsidence Mining 12 years ago for a price that was \(\$ 300,000\) in excess of the book value of the shares acquired; all the excess over the book value was attributable to intangible assets with a remaining life of 20 years from the date of combination. Both parent and subsidiary use straight-line amortization and depreciation.
