During 2010 Carne Corporation transferred inventory to Nolan Corporation and agreed to repurchase the merchandise early in 2011. Nolan then used the inventory as collateral to borrow from Norwalk Bank, remitting the proceeds to Carne. In 2011 when Carne repurchased the inventory, Nolan used the proceeds to repay its bank loan.
On whose books should the cost of the inventory appear at the December 31, 2010 balance sheet date?
