Question

On January 1, 2020, McIlroy, Inc., acquired a 60 percent interest in the common stock of Stinson, Inc., for $334,800. Stinson's book value on that date consisted of common stock of $100,000 and retained earnings of $197,900. Also, the acquisition-date fair value of the 40 percent noncontrolling interest was $223,200. The subsidiary held patents (with a 10-year remaining life) that were undervalued within the company's accounting records by $86,200 and an unrecorded customer list (15-year remaining life) assessed at a $62,400 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)
2020	$137,700	$172,125	$57,375
2021	113,400	151,200	37,800

The individual financial statements for these two companies as of December 31, 2021, and the year then ended follow:
