On December 31, 20X6, Gold Company acquired all of Nugget’s outstanding common stock for $1,500,000 cash. On that date, the fair (market) value of Nugget’s inventories was $450,000, and the fair value of Nugget’s property, plant, and equipment was $1,000,000. The fair values of all other assets and liabilities of Nugget were equal to their book values.
Assuming Gold uses the equity method to account for investments and that Gold’s (unconsoli- dated) balance sheet on December 31, 20X6, reflected retained earnings of $2,000,000, what amount of retained earnings should be shown in the December 31, 20X6, consolidated balance sheet of Gold and its new subsidiary, Nugget?
