Assume that on January 1, 2016 an investor company paid $5,800 to an investee company in exchange for the following assets and liabilities transferred from the investee company:

Factory	3,000	2,860
Land	200	780
Patents	-	1,300
Accrued liabilities	(240)	(260)

In addition, assume that the investor paid an additional $200 of transaction costs to a third party. The book values are from the investee’s financial records immediately before the exchange. The fair values are measured in accordance with FASB ASC 820: Fair Value Measurement.

Parts a. and b. are independent of each other.
