Each of the following problems is an independent situation:

Assume that Panther sells Staffer inventory at a markup equal to 40 percent of cost. Intra-entity transfers were $198,000 in 2018 and $242,000 in 2019. Of this inventory, Staffer retained and then sold $61,600 of the 2018 transfers in 2019 and held $84,000 of the 2019 transfers until 2020.
