1. The full amount of the differential at acquisition was assigned to buildings and equipment with a remaining 10-year economic life.
2. Prime and Steak regularly purchase inventory from each other. During 20X6, Steak Company sold inventory costing $40,000 to Prime Corporation for $60,000, and Prime resold 60 percent of the inventory in 20X6 and 40 percent in 20X7. Also in 20X6, Prime sold inventory costing $20,000 to Steak for $26,000. Steak resold two-thirds of the inventory in 20X6 and one-third in 20X7.
3. During 20X7, Steak sold inventory costing $30,000 to Prime for $45,000, and Prime sold items purchased for $9,000 to Steak for $12,000. Before the end of the year, Prime resold one-third of the inventory it purchased from Steak in 20X7. Steak continues to hold all the units purchased from Prime during 20X7.
4. Steak owes Prime $10,000 on account on December 31, 20X7.
5. Assume that both companies use straight-line depreciation and that no property, plant, or equipment has been purchased since the acquisition.
