The individual financial statements for Gibson Company and Keller Company for the year ending December 31, 2018, follow. Gibson acquired a 60 percent interest in Keller on January 1, 2017, in exchange for various considerations totaling $420,000. At the acquisition date, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $280,000 and Kellers book value was $550,000. Keller had developed internally a customer list that was not recorded on its books but had an acquisition-date fair value of $150,000. This intangible asset is being amortized over 20 years.

Gibson sold Keller land with a book value of $70,000 on January 2, 2017, for $140,000. Keller still holds this land at the end of the current year.

Keller regularly transfers inventory to Gibson. In 2017, it shipped inventory costing $130,000 to Gibson at a price of $200,000. During 2018, intra-entity shipments totaled $250,000, although the original cost to Keller was only $150,000. In each of these years, 20 percent of the merchandise was not resold to outside parties until the period following the transfer. Gibson owes Keller $70,000 at the end of 2018.

Prepare a worksheet to consolidate the separate 2018 financial statements for Gibson and Keller.

How would the consolidation entries in requirement (a) have differed if Gibson had sold a building with a $85,000 book value (cost of $190,000) to Keller for $150,000 instead of land, as the problem reports? Assume that the building had a 10-year remaining life at the date of transfer.
