Accumulated depreciation		(20,650	)
	NGN	52,660			NGN	52,660

The subsidiary acquired the inventory on August 1, 2016, and the land and building in 2010. It issued the common stock in 2008. During 2017, the following transactions took place:

Dec. 1	Declared and paid 3,130,000 NGN cash dividend to parent.
