Question
On January 1, 2020, Panther, Inc., issued securities with a total fair value of $582,000 for 100 percent of Stark Corporation's
outstanding ownership shares. Stark has long supplied inventory to Panther. The companies expect to achieve synergies with
production scheduling and product development with this combination.
Although Stark's book value at the acquisition date was $342,000, the fair value of its trademarks was assessed to be $75,000 more
than their carrying amounts. Additionally, Stark's patented technology was undervalued in its accounting records by $165,000. The
trademarks were considered to have indefinite lives, and the estimated remaining life of the patented technology was eight years.
In 2020, Stark sold Panther inventory costing $112,500 for $225,000. As of December 31, 2020, Panther had resold 74 percent of this
inventory. In 2021, Panther bought from Stark $180,000 of inventory that had an original cost of $90,000. At the end of 2021, Panther
held $48,600 (transfer price) of inventory acquired from Stark, all from its 2021 purchases.
During 2021, Panther sold Stark a parcel of land for $113,200 and recorded a gain of $20,000 on the sale. Stark still owes Panther
$78,000 (current liability) related to the land sale.
At the end of 2021, Panther and Stark prepared the following statements for consolidation.
