The aggregate fair value of the controlling and noncontrolling interest was $255,000 in excess of the subsidiary's Stockholders' Equity on the acquisition date.

The building asset is being depreciated over a 10-year period and the Trademark is being amortized over a 6-year period, both on the straight-line basis with no salvage value. During the current year, the parent and subsidiary reported a total of $340,000 of intercompany sales. At the beginning of the current year, there were $59,500 of upstream intercompany profits in the parent's inventory. At the end of the current year, there were $42,500 of downstream intercompany profits in the subsidiary's inventory. During the current year, the subsidiary declared and paid $85,000 of dividends.
