Question

On January 1, 2015, Pub Corporation made a significant acquisition, purchasing 75 percent of Sub Corporation's outstanding voting stock for a total of $4,200,000. Sub Corporation's stockholders' equity at that time was made up of the following components (all values in thousands): 

 

Capital stock with a par value of $10: $2,000
Additional paid-in capital: $1,200
Retained earnings as of December 31, 2014: $1,500
Total stockholders' equity: $4,700

 

The surplus fair value of the net assets obtained from this acquisition was allocated as follows: 10 percent to underappreciated inventory (which was subsequently sold in 2015), 40 percent to underappreciated plant assets with a remaining useful life of eight years, and the remaining 50 percent to goodwill

 

Fast forward to December 31, 2019, and we have the comparative trial balances for both Pub Corporation and Sub Corporation.

Expenses (including cost of sales) 5,285 800
