Assume that, on January 1, 2010, a parent company acquired an 80% interest in a subsidiary for

$889,600 in cash. The total fair value of the controlling and non-controlling interests on the acquisition

date was $1,112,000 which is $440,000 over the book value of the subsidiarys Stockholders Equity

on the acquisition date. The parent assigned the excess to the following [A] assets:

[A]Asset	Initial Fair Value	Useful Life
Patent	160,000	10 years
Goodwill	280,000
	440,000

On the acquisition date, the retained earnings of the subsidiary were $400,000. The acquisition-date Good-

will is allocated to the parent and subsidiary in an 80:20 proportion, respectively. Assume that the subsid-

iary sells inventory to the parent (upstream) which includes that inventory in products that it ultimately sells

to customers outside of the controlled group. You have compiled the following data as of 2015 and 2016
