Of the $75,000 differential, $10,000 related to the increased value of Sydney's inventory, $20,000 related to the increased value of its land, and $25,000 related to the increased value of its equipment that had a remaining life of 10 years from the date of combination. Sydney sold all inventory it held at the end of 2008 during 2009. The land to which the differential related was also sold during 2009 for a large gain. At the date of combination, Sydney reported retained earnings of $75,000 and common stock outstanding of $50,000. In 2009, Sydney reported net income of $60,000, but paid no dividends.
