Private Manufacturing Company acquired 90 percent of Secret Corporations outstanding common stock on December 31, 20X5, for $1,152,000. At that date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $128,000, and Secret reported common stock outstanding of $500,000, premium on common stock of $280,000, and retained earnings of $420,000. The book values and fair values of Secrets assets and liabilities were equal except for land, which was worth $30,000 more than its book value. On April 1, 20X6, Private issued at par $200,000 of 10 percent bonds directly to Secret; interest on the bonds is payable March 31 and September 30. On January 1, 20X7, Private purchased all of Secrets outstanding 10-year 12 percent bonds from an unrelated institutional investor at 98. The bonds originally had been issued on January 1, 20X1, for 101. Interest on the bonds is payable December 31 and June 30. Since the date it was acquired by Private Manufacturing, Secret has sold inventory to Private on a regular basis. The amount of such intercompany sales totaled $64,000 in 20X6 and $78,000 in 20X7, including a 30 percent gross profit. All inventory transferred in 20X6 had been resold by December 31, 20X6, except inventory for which Private had paid $15,000 and did not resell until January 20X7. All inventory transferred in 20X7 had been resold at December 31, 20X7, except merchandise for which Private had paid $18,000. At December 31, 20X7, trial balances for Private and Secret appeared as follows:

As of December 31, 20X7, Secret had declared but not yet paid its fourth-quarter dividend of $10,000.
