Question:
Davis Inc. (Davis) purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. (Martin) on January 1, 2019, when Martin's common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000, respectively. On that date, Martin's book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company's inventories and a patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin's inventories on January 1, 2019 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value. It was predicted that Martin's goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2020, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition. During 2019, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and declared and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin's 2020 net income and dividends declared and paid were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets. Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following: Required: a) Changes Acquisition Differential Schedule
b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2020: i. Investment in Martin Inc. ii. Goodwill iii. The remaining acquisition differential.
