    Building with fair value of $150,000

    Explanation:

    In the consolidation work paper elimination, we eliminate the Equity or Net Identifiable assets that exist in Star Company at the Acquisition Date.

    The Building with fair value of $150,000 was the only balance sheet item existing thus this is ultimately the Net Identifiable Assets that would be eliminated.
