Question

On January 1, 2017, McIlroy, Inc., acquired a 60 percent interest in the common stock of Stinson, Inc., for $378,000. Stinson's book value on that date consisted of common stock of $100,000 and retained earnings of $223,400. Also, the acquisition-date fair value of the 40 percent noncontrolling interest was $252,000. The subsidiary held patents (with a 10-year remaining life) that were undervalued within the company's accounting records by $80,800 and an unrecorded customer list (15-year remaining life) assessed at a $56,400 fair value. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was assigned to goodwill. Since acquisition, McIlroy has applied the equity method to its Investment in Stinson account and no goodwill impairment has occurred. At year end, there are no intra-entity payables or receivables.

Intra-entity inventory sales between the two companies have been made as follows:

Year	Cost to McIlroy	Transfer Price to Stinson	Ending Balance (at transfer price)
2017	$130,200	$162,750	$54,250
2018	112,500	150,000	37,500

The individual financial statements for these two companies as of December 31, 2018, and the year then ended follow:
