On January 1,2020, Parent, Inc., acquired a 60 percent interest in the common stock of Subsidiary, Inc., for $391,800. Subsidiary's book value on that date consisted of common stock of $100,000 and retained earnings of $231,600. Also, the acquisition-date fair value of the 40 percent noncontrolling interest was $261,200. The subsidiary held patents (with a 10-year remaining life) that were undervalued within the company's accounting records by $85,600 and an unrecorded customer list (15-year remaining life) assessed at a $61,800 fair value. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was assigned to goodwill. Since acquisition, Parent has applied the equity method to its Investment in Subsidiary account and no goodwill impairment has occurred. At year-end, there are no intra-entity payables or receivables.
