Question:

Pam Corporation acquired a 70 percent interest in Sun Corporation's outstanding voting common stock on January 1, 2016, for $490,000 cash. The stockholders' equity of Sun on this date consisted of $500,000 capital stock and $100,000 retained earnings. The difference between the fair value of Sun and the underlying equity acquired in Sun was assigned $5,000 to Sun's undervalued inventory, $14,000 to undervalued buildings, $21,000 to undervalued equipment, and $60,000 to goodwill.

The undervalued inventory items were sold during 2016, and the undervalued buildings and equipment had remaining useful lives of seven years and three years, respectively. Depreciation is straight line.
