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 subsidiarys 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 subsidiarys 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 subsidiarys 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 selling

price. 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. On December 31, 2019, $50,000 of these

intercompany sales remained unpaid. Additionally, during 2018, intercompany sales amount to $150,000,

of which $40,000 of merchandise remained in the ending inventory of the subsidiary on December 31,

2018. On December 31, 2018, $60,000 of these intercompany sales remained unpaid.
