D) $250,000

Answer 1

Answer: $250,000

Explanation:

The amount at which buildings and equipment will be reported in consolidated statements immediately following the acquisition will be the value of the book value of Primo's equipment which is $50,000 plus Secondo’s book value of its buildings and equipment which is $200,000.

Therefore, the answer will be:

= $50,000 + $200,000

= $250,000
