Stage Company operates on a calendar-year basis, reporting its results of operations quarterly. For the first quarter of 20X1, Stage reported sales of $255,000 and operating expenses of $195,000 and paid dividends of $14,000. On April 1, 20X1, Parachute Theaters Inc. acquired 85 percent of Stages common stock for $782,000. At that date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $138,000, and Stage had 100,000 outstanding shares of $1 par common stock, originally issued at $6 per share. The differential is related to goodwill. On December 31, 20X1, the management of Parachute Theaters reviewed the amount attributed to goodwill as a result of its purchase of Stage common stock and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. Stages retained earnings statement for the full year 20X1 appears as follows:

Retained Earnings, January 1, 20X1	$	149,000
Net Income		174,000
Dividends		(32,000	)
Retained Earnings, December 31, 20X1	$	291,000
