Straight-line method with no salvage value


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.

The following selected account balances were from the individual financial records of these two companies as of December 31, 2009:
....... Polar Inc. Icecar
Sales ........ 896000 ..........504000
COGS ........... 406000 ..................276000
Oper expenses..........210000............147000
R?E....................1036000....252000
Inventory.............484000.........154000
Buildings.... .......501000........220000
Investment income ..... not given

Polar sold a building to Icecap on January 1, 2008 for $112,000, although the book value of this asset was only $70,000 on that date. The building had a five-year remaining useful life and was to be depreciated using the straight-line method with no salvage value.
