The book value of Stokess net assets on that date was $760,000, although one of the companys buildings, with a $71,200 carrying value, was actually worth $111,450. This building had a 10 year remaining life. Stokes owned a royalty agreement with a 20 year remaining life that was undervalued by $114,000. Stokes sold inventory with an original cost of $65,100 to Hobson during 2012 at a price of $93,000. Hobson still held $22,800 (transfer price) of this amount in inventory as of December 31, 2012. These goods are to be sold to outside parties during 2013. Stokes reported a loss of $71,100 for 2012, $43,600 from continuing operations and $27,500 from an extraordinary loss. The company still manages to pay a $5,000 cash dividend during the year. During 2013, Stokes reported a $56,400 net income and distributed a cash dividend of $7,000. It made additional inventory sales of $74,000 to Hobson during the period. The original cost of the merchandise was $46,250. All but 30 percent of this inventory had been resold to outside parties by the end of the 2013 fiscal year.
