Building 40,000    
Accumulated depreciation (20,000)    
  NGN 50,000   NGN 50,000

The subsidiary issued the common stock in 2015, and acquired the land and building in 2016. It acquired the inventory on August 1, 2023. During 2024, the following transactions took place:

2024  
February 1 Paid 8,000,000 NGN on the note payable.
May 1 Sold entire inventory for 16,000,000 NGN on account.
June 1 Sold land for 6,000,000 NGN cash.
August 1 Collected all accounts receivable.
September 1 Signed long-term note to receive 8,000,000 NGN cash.
October 1 Bought inventory for 20,000,000 NGN cash.
November 1 Bought land for 3,000,000 NGN on account.
December 1 Declared and paid 3,000,000 NGN cash dividend to parent.
December 31 Recorded depreciation for the entire year of 2,000,000 NGN.

The U.S dollar ($) exchange rates for 1 NGN are as follows:

2015 NGN 1 = $ 0.0048
2016 NGN 1 = 0.0042
August 1, 2023 NGN 1 = 0.0062
December 31, 2023 NGN 1 = 0.0064
February 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0066
May 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0068
June 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0070
August 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0074
September 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0076
October 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0078
November 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0080
December 1, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0082
December 31, 2024 NGN 1 = 0.0084
