Young reported stockholders' equity accounts on that date as follows:
Common stock-$10 par value $300,000

Retained earnings 480,000
In establishing the acquisition value, Monica appraised Young's assets and ascertained that the accounting records undervalued a building (with a five-year remaining life) by $60,000.

Monica consistently resold this merchandise in the year of acquisition or in the period immediately following. Transfers for the three years after this business combination was created amounted to the following:
Year Transfer Price Inventory Remaining at Year-End (at transfer price)
2019 $90,000 $17,000
2020 110,000 19,000
2021 120,000 25,000
