The individual financial statements for Abbey Company and Bellstar Company for the year ending December 31,2024, follow. Abbey
acquired a 60 percent interest in Bellstar on January 1,2023, in exchange for various considerations totaling $510,000. At the
acquisition date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $340,000 and Bellstar's book value was $670,000. Bellstar had
developed internally a trademark that was not recorded on its books but had an acquisition-date fair value of $180,000. This intangible
asset is being amortized over 20 years. Abbey uses the partial equity method to account for its investment in Bellstar.
Abbey sold Bellstar land with a book value of $85,000 on January 2,2023, for $170,000. Bellstar still holds this land at the end of the
current year.
Bellstar regularly transfers inventory to Abbey. In 2023, it shipped inventory costing $149,500 to Abbey at a price of $230,000. During
2024, intra-entity shipments totaled $280,000, although the original cost to Bellstar was only $168,000. In each of these years, 20
percent of the merchandise was not resold to outside parties until the period following the transfer. Abbey owes Bellstar $45,000 at
the end of 2024.
