On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the subsidiarys net assets equaled their reported book values. On January 1, 2020, the subsidiary purchased a building for $432,000 The building has a useful life of 8 years and is depreciated on a straight-line basis with no salvage value. On January 1, 2022, the subsidiary sold the building to the parent for $360,000 The parent estimated that the building had a six-year remaining useful life and no salvage value.
