Transcribed Image Text:On December 31, Pacifica, Inc., acquired 100 percent of the voting stock of Seguros Company. Pacifica will maintain
Seguros as a wholly owned subsidiary with its own legal and accounting identity. The consideration transferred to
the owner of Seguros included 56,570 newly issued Pacifica common shares ($20 market value, $5 par value) and

31 of the following year. Pacifica estimates a 50 percent probability that Seguros will be successful in meeting these
goals and uses a 4 percent discount rate to represent the time value of money.
