Consolidation spreadsheet for continuous sale of inventory - Equity method Assume that a parent company acquired a subsidiary on January 1, 2013. The purchase price was $500,000 million in excess of the subsidiarys book value of Stockholders Equity on the acquisition date, and that excess was assigned to the following AAP assets:

AAP Asset	Original Amount	Original Useful Life (years)
Property, plant and equipment (PPE), net	$100,000	20
Customer list	175,000	10
Royalty agreement	125,000	10
Goodwill	100,000	indefinite
	$500,000

The AAP assets with a definite useful life have been amortized as part of the parents equity method accounting. The Goodwill asset has been tested annually for impairment, and has not been found to be impaired.

Assume that the parent company sells inventory to its wholly owned subsidiary. The subsidiary, ultimately, sells the inventory to customers outside of the consolidated group. You have compiled the following data for the years ending 2015 and 2016:

	Inventory Sales	Gross Profit Remaining in Unsold Inventory	Receivable (Payable)
2016	$68,000	$19,380	$27,200
2015	$43,700	$12,597	$13,237

The inventory not remaining at the end of the year has been sold to unaffiliated entities outside of the consolidated group. The parent uses the equity method to account for its Equity Investment.
