Determine the balances that would appear


Several years ago Polar Inc. purchased an 80% interest in Icecap Co. The book values of Icecap's asset and liability accounts at that time were considered to be equal to their fair values. Polar paid an amount corresponding to the underlying book value of Icecap so that no allocations or goodwill resulted from the purchase price.
