Consolidated Assets 850,000

Explanation:

We need to calcualte the alue of the purchased portion of Slat.

total assets - non-controlled = proportional owned assets

250,000 - 50,000 = 200,000

The consolidated net assets would be:

Pallet Company 650,000

Slat Company 250,000

non-controlling (50,000)

Consolidated Assets 850,000
