Question:
Crow Corporation purchased 70 percent of West Company’s voting common stock on January 1, 20X5, for $291,200. On that date, the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $124,800 and the book value of West’s net assets was $380,000. The book values and fair values of West’s assets and liabilities were equal except for land that had a fair value $14,000 higher than book value. The amount attributed to goodwill as a result of the acquisition is not amortized and has not been impaired.
On January 1, 20X9, Crow's inventory contained $30,000 of unrealized intercompany profits recorded by West. West's inventory on that date contained $15,000 of unrealized intercompany profits recorded on Crow's books. Both companies sold their ending 20X8 inventories to unrelated companies in 20X9.
During 20X9, West sold inventory costing $37,000 to Crow for $62,000. Crow held all inventory purchased from West during 20X9 on December 31, 20X9. Also during 20X9, Crow sold goods costing $54,000 to West for $90,000. West continues to hold $20,000 of its purchase from Crow on December 31, 20X9. Assume Crow uses the fully adjusted equity method.
