A parent company purchased a 90% controlling interest in its subsidiary several years ago. The aggregate fair value of the controlling and noncontrolling interest was $276,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date. This excess was assigned to a building that was estimated to be undervalued by $180,000 and to an unrecorded patent valued at $96,000. The building asset is being depreciated over a 12-year period and the patent is being amortized over an 8-year period, both on the straight-line basis with no salvage value. During a previous year, the subsidiary sold to the parent company a piece of depreciable property. The unconfirmed upstream gain on this intercompany transaction was $120,000 at the beginning of the current year. The upstream gain confirmed each year is $24,000. During the current year, the subsidiary declared and paid $90,000 of dividends. The parent company uses the cost method of pre-consolidation investment bookkeeping. Each company reports the following income statement for the current year:
Required:
Starting with the parent’s current-year pre-consolidation net income of $441,000, compute the amount of current-year net income attributable to the parent that will be reported in the consolidated financial statements.
