Jet Corp. acquired all of the outstanding shares of Nittle Inc.
on January 1, 2011, for $644,000 in cash. Of this price, $42,000
was attributed to equipment with a ten-year remaining useful life.
Goodwill of $56,000 had also been identified. Jet applied the
partial equity method so that income would be accrued each period
based solely on the earnings reported by the subsidiary.
On January 1, 2014, Jet reported $280,000 in bonds outstanding with
a book value of $263,200. Nittle purchased half of these bonds on
the open market for $135,800.
During 2014, Jet began to sell merchandise to Nittle. During that
year, inventory costing $112,000 was transferred at a price of
$140,000. All but $14,000 (at Jet’s selling price) of these goods
were resold to outside parties by year's end. Nittle still owed
$50,400 for inventory shipped from Jet during December.
