However, the branch immediately used 344,000 euros to acquire a warehouse. On May 1, it purchased inventory costing 125,000 euros for cash that it sold on July 1 for 163,000 euros cash. The branch transferred 11,000 euros to the parent on October 1 and recorded depreciation on the warehouse of 24,000 euros for the year. U.S dollar exchange rates for 1 euro follow:
