$\begin{array} { l r r } & \begin{array} { r } \text { Book } \\\underline{\text { Value }}\end{array} & \begin{array} { r } \text { Fair } \\\underline{\text { Value }}\end{array} \\\text { Inventory } & \$ 36,000 & \$ 48,000 \\\text { Equipment (5-year life) } & 84,000 & 60,000 \\\text { Building (10-year life) } & 120,000 & 180,000\end{array}$
-If Utah paid $300,000 in cash for Trimmer,what allocation should have been assigned to the subsidiary's Building account and its Equipment account in a December 31,2011 consolidation?
Since Utah paid more than the $288,000 fair value of Trimmer's net assets,all allocations are based on fair value with the excess $12,000 assigned to goodwill.
