The fair value adjustment of $40 million for CD's property, plant and equipment at the acquisition date is being amortized over 10 years, so the adjustment at the end of 20X4 would be $20 million. This means the consolidated value should be $150 million.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be B) $190 million. The fair value adjustment should be eliminated in consolidation.

I agree with Latonia. The fair value adjustment of $40 million should be added to the subsidiary's carrying value.
