Question

Pitino acquired 90 percent of Brey's outstanding shares on January 1, 2016, in exchange for $405,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $389,000 and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $45,000 on that day. However, a building (with a nine-year remaining life) in Brey's accounting records was undervalued by $27,000. Pitino assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Brey's patented technology (four-year remaining life).

Brey reported net income from its own operations of $71,000 in 2016 and $87,000 in 2017. Brey declared dividends of $22,500 in 2016 and $26,500 in 2017.

Year	Cost to Brey	Transfer Price to Pitino	Inventory Remaining at Year-End
2016	$76,000	$150,000	$32,000
2017	$102,000	$170,000	$44,500
2018	$126,750	$195,000	$70,000

At December 31, 2018, Pitino owes Brey $23,000 for inventory acquired during the period.

The following separate account balances are for these two companies for December 31, 2018, and the year then ended.
