Additional Information

1.	At the date of combination, the book values and fair values of Lanes separately identifiable assets and liabilities were equal. The full amount of the increased value of the entity was attributed to goodwill. At December 31, 20X6, the management of Prime reviewed the amount attributed to goodwill as a result of its purchase of Lane stock and recognized an impairment loss of $18,000. No further impairment occurred in 20X7.
2.	On January 1, 20X5, Lane sold land for $18,000 that had cost $8,000 to Prime.
3.	On January 1, 20X6, Prime sold to Lane equipment that it had purchased for $75,000 on January 1, 20X1. The equipment has a total 15-year economic life and was sold to Lane for $70,000. Both companies use straight-line depreciation.
4.	Intercompany receivables and payables total $4,000 on December 31, 20X7.

Required:

a.	Prepare a reconciliation between the balance in Primes Investment in Lane Company Stock account reported on December 31, 20X7, and Lanes book value. (Enter the proportion of stock held as a fraction (i.e., 0.75), not in percent.)

b-1.	Prepare all worksheet consolidation entries needed as of December 31, 20X7. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b-2.

Complete a three-part consolidation worksheet for 20X7. (Values in the first two columns (the "parent" and "subsidiary" balances) that are to be deducted should be indicated with a minus sign, while all values in the "Consolidation Entries" columns should be entered as positive values. For accounts where multiple adjusting entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet.)
