A U.S. parent acquired all of the stock of an Italian subsidiary on January 1, 2023, for 1,500,000. The excess paid over book value was attributed to goodwill, which was impaired by 50,000 during 2023. The subsidiarys January 1 and December 31, 2023, trial balances are as follows, in euros:

	December 31, 2023 Dr (Cr)	January 1, 2023 Dr (Cr)
Cash, receivables	180,000	200,000
Inventories, at FIFO cost	500,000	400,000
Plant & equipment, net	1,300,000	1,600,000
Liabilities	(1,080,000)	(1,400,000)
Capital stock	(200,000)	(200,000)

Cost of goods sold	2,300,000
