QUESTION

The individual financial statements for Ben Company and Jerry Company for the year ending December 31, 2018, follow.

The individual financial statements for Ben Company and Jerry Company for the year ending December 31, 2018, follow. Ben acquired a 60 percent interest in Jerry on January 1, 2017, in exchange for various considerations totaling $570,000. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $380,000 and Jerry's book value was $850,000. Jerry had developed internally a customer list that was not recorded on its books, but had an acquisition-date fair value of $100,000. This intangible asset is being amortized over 20 years.

Ben sold Jerry land with a book value of $60,000 on January 2, 2017, for $100,000. Jerry still holds this land at the end of the current year.

Jerry regularly transfers inventory to Ben. In 2017, it shipped inventory costing $100,000 to Ben at a price of $150,000. During 2018, intra-entity shipments totaled $200,000, although the original cost to Jerry was only $140,000. In each of these years, 20 percent of the merchandise was not resold to outside parties until the period following the transfer. Ben owes Jerry $40,000 at the end of 2018.
