Rossman Corporation holds 75 percent of the common stock of Schmid Distributors Inc., purchased on December 31, 20X1, for $2,220,000. At the date of acquisition, Schmid reported common stock with a par value of $910,000, additional paid-in capital of $1,260,000, and retained earnings of $560,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at acquisition was $740,000. The differential at acquisition was attributable to the following items:

Inventory (sold in 20X2)	$	57,500
Land		80,500
Goodwill		92,000
Total Differential	$	230,000

During 20X2, Rossman sold a plot of land that it had purchased several years before to Schmid at a gain of $32,200; Schmid continues to hold the land. In 20X6, Rossman and Schmid entered into a five-year contract under which Rossman provides management consulting services to Schmid on a continuing basis; Schmid pays Rossman a fixed fee of $94,000 per year for these services. At December 31, 20X8, Schmid owed Rossman $23,500 as the final 20X8 quarterly payment under the contract.

On January 2, 20X8, Rossman paid $260,000 to Schmid to purchase equipment that Schmid was then carrying at $300,000. Schmid had purchased that equipment on December 27, 20X2, for $450,000. The equipment is expected to have a total 15-year life and no salvage value. The amount of the differential assigned to goodwill has not been impaired.
