Question

Placid Lake Corporation acquired 90 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2020, when Scenic had a net book value of $640,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $7,000 per year.

Placid Lake's 2021 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $540,000. Scenic reported net income of $350,000. Placid Lake declared $170,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $64,000. At the end of 2021, selected figures from the two companies' balance sheets were as follows:

Placid Lake Scenic
Inventory $380,000 $114,000
Land 840,000 440,000
Equipment (net) 640,000 540,000

During 2020, intra-entity sales of $195,000 (original cost of $90,000) were made. Only 30 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2020. In 2021, $330,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $83,000. Of this merchandise, 40 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.
