Large Ltd. purchased 80% of Small Company on January 1, Year 6, for $660,000, when the statement of financial position for Small showed common shares of $490,000 and retained earnings of $190,000. On that date, the inventory of Small was undervalued by $51,000, and a patent with an estimated remaining life of five years was overvalued by $76,000.

Small reported the following subsequent to January 1, Year 6:

Profit (Loss) Dividends
Year 6 $ 116,000 $ 34,000
Year 7 (44,000) 19,000
Year 8 99,000 49,000

A test for goodwill impairment on December 31, Year 8, indicated a loss of $20,200 should be reported for Year 8 on the consolidated income statement. Large uses the cost method to account for its investment in Small and reported the following for Year 8 for its separate-entity statement of changes in equity:

Retained earnings, beginning $ 590,000
Profit 290,000
Dividends (61,000)
Retained earnings, end $ 819,000
