On January 1, 2011, Sledge had common stock of $120,000 and retained earnings of $260,000. During that year, Sledge reported sales of $130,000, cost of goods sold of $70,000, and operating expenses of $40,000.

On January 1, 2009, Percy, Inc., acquired 80 percent of Sledge’s outstanding voting stock. At that date, $60,000 of the acquisition-date fair value was assigned to unrecorded contracts (with a 20-year life) and $20,000 to an undervalued building (with a 10-year life).

In 2010, Sledge sold inventory costing $9,000 to Percy for $15,000. Of this merchandise, Percy continued to hold $5,000 at year-end. During 2011, Sledge transferred inventory costing $11,000 to Percy for $20,000. Percy still held half of these items at year-end.

On January 1, 2010, Percy sold equipment to Sledge for $12,000. This asset originally cost $16,000 but had a January 1, 2010, book value of $9,000. At the time of transfer, the equipment’s remaining life was estimated to be five years.
