Additional Information
1. On January 1, 20X7, Granite reported net assets with a book value of $150,000 and a fair value of $191,250. The difference between fair value and book value of Granite’s net assets is related entirely to Buildings and Equipment. Granite’s depreciable assets had an estimated economic life of 11 years on the date of combination.

3. Mortar used the equity method in accounting for its investment in Granite.
4. Detailed analysis of receivables and payables showed that Mortar owed Granite $9,000 on December 31, 20X8.
