Tax effects of business combinations (taxable, market value differs from book value) Assume that on January 1, 2013, an investor company acquired 100% of the outstanding voting common stock of an investee company in exchange for $150,000. The transaction is a taxable asset acquisition under the Internal Revenue Code. The following financial statement information is for the investor company and the investee company on January 1, 2013, prepared immediately before this transaction. Book Values Investor Investee Current assets ................................................. $150,000 $ 80,000 Noncurrent assets .............................................. 225,000 100,000 Total assets.................................................... $375,000 $180,000 Liabilities......................................................

In addition, the investee's pre-transaction tax bases in its individual net assets approximate their reported book values. This difference relates entirely to tax-deductible items. Assume the marginal tax rate is 40% for the investor and investee. What amount of goodwill should be reported in the investor's consolidated balance sheet prepared immediately after this business combination?
