Problem
On January 1, 20X7, Jones Company acquired 90 percent of the outstanding common stock of Smith Corporation for $1,242,000. On that date, the fair value of noncontrolling interest was equal to $138,000. The entire differential was related to land held by Smith. At the date of acquisition, Smith had common stock outstanding of $520,000, additional paid-in capital of $200,000, and retained earnings of $540,000. During 20X7, Smith sold inventory to Jones for $440,000. The inventory originally cost Smith $360,000. By year-end, 30 percent was still in Jones' ending inventory. During 20X8, the remaining inventory was resold to an unrelated customer. Both Jones and Smith use perpetual inventory systems.
