In 20X7, Lance had purchased inventory for $40,000 and sold it to Avery for $60,000. At December 31, 20X7, Avery continued to hold $27,000 of the inventory.

Avery had issued $200,000 of 8 percent, 10-year bonds on January 1, 20X4, at 104. Lance had purchased $80,000 of the bonds from one of the original owners for $78,400 on December 31, 20X5. Interest is paid annually on December 31. Assume Lance uses the fully adjusted equity method.
