Question:
Madre Inc buys 80 percent of the outstanding common stock of Niels Corporation on January 1, 2019, for $802,720 cash. At the acquisition date, Niels' total fair value, including the non controlling interest, was assessed at $1,003,400 although Niels' book value was only $690,000. Also, several individual items on Niels' financial records had fair values that differed from their book values as follows:
Book Value | Fair Value | |
Land | $65,000 | $290,000 |
Buildings and Equipment (10 yrs. remaining life) | 287,000 | 263,000 |
Copyright (20 yrs. remaining life) | 122,000 | 216,000 |
Notes Payable (due in 8 years) | (176,000) | (157,600) |
