Prince Corporation holds 75 percent of the common stock of Sword Distributors Inc., purchased on December 31, 20X1, for $2,160,000. At the date of acquisition, Sword reported common stock with a par value of $910,000, additional paid-in capital of $1,260,000, and retained earnings of $540,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at acquisition was $720,000. The differential at acquisition was attributable to the following items:

Inventory (sold in 20X2) $ 42,500
Land 59,500
Goodwill 68,000
Total Differential $ 170,000


During 20X2, Prince sold a plot of land that it had purchased several years before to Sword at a gain of $23,800; Sword continues to hold the land. In 20X6, Prince and Sword entered into a five-year contract under which Prince provides management consulting services to Sword on a continuing basis; Sword pays Prince a fixed fee of $93,000 per year for these services. At December 31, 20X8, Sword owed Prince $23,250 as the final 20X8 quarterly payment under the contract.

On January 2, 20X8, Prince paid $260,000 to Sword to purchase equipment that Sword was then carrying at $300,000. Sword 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.
