A parent company acquired 70% of the stock of a subsidiary company on January 1, 2017, for $610,000. On this date, the balances of the subsidiary’s stockholders’ equity accounts were Common Stock, $500,000, and Retained Earnings, $100,000. On January 1, 2017, the market price for the 30% noncontrolling interest was $270,000.

An examination of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities on January 1, 2017 revealed that book values were equal to fair values for all items except two: (1) merchandise, which had a book value of $120,000 and a fair value of $170,000, and (2) intangible assets which had a fair value of $300,000 and a book value of zero. Both companies use the FIFO inventory method and sell all of their inventories at least once per year. The intangible assets had a useful life of 10 years.

On January 1, 2018, the subsidiary sold a building to the parent for $500,000. On this date, the building was carried on the subsidiary’s books (net of accumulated depreciation) at $400,000. Both companies estimated that the building has a remaining life of 10 years on the intercompany sale date, with no salvage value.

The parent regularly sells merchandise to the subsidiary with a profit margin of 35 percent of sellingprice. During 2019, intercompany sales amount to $200,000, of which $60,000 of merchandise remains in  the ending inventory of the subsidiary on December 31, 2019.
