Question:
Palmetto Company, a U.S. company, acquired 70% of Seaside Corporation’s stock for $25,500 in cash and stock on January 1, 2018, when Seaside’s book value was $6,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition was $9,500. At the date of acquisition, all of Seaside’s assets and liabilities were reported at amounts approximating fair value, except for the following previously unreported identifiable intangible assets, meeting GAAP requirements for capitalization:
Fair Value | Remaining Life at Date of Acquisition | |
Identifiable intangible: Technology | $5,000 | Indefinite life |
Identifiable intangible: Leaseholds | 4,000 | 4 years |
All amortization is straight-line. Total impairment for technology for the years 2018 to 2020 is $1,000. There is no impairment in 2021. The leaseholds are amortized but are not impaired. Goodwill arising from this acquisition is tested annually for impairment. Total impairment for the years 2018 through 2020 is $2,400. Goodwill impairment for 2021 is $1,000. It is now December 31, 2021. The trial balances of Palmetto and Seaside at December 31, 2021, collected from the books of Palmetto and Seaside, appear in consolidation working paper below.
