Question

On January 3, 2016, Persoff Corporation acquired all of the outstanding voting stock of Sea Cliff, Inc. in exchange for $6,000,000 in cash. Persoff elected to exercise control over Sea Cliff as a wholly owned subsidiary with an independent accounting system. Both companies have December 31 fiscal year-ends. At the acquisition date, Sea Cliff’s stockholders’ equity was $2,500,000 including retained earnings of $1,700,000.

 

Persoff pursued the acquisition, in part, to utilize Sea Cliff’s technology and computer software. These items had fair values that differed from their values on Sea Cliff’s books as follows:

Useful Life
Patented technology $ 140,000 $ 2,240,000 7 years
Computer software   60,000   1,260,000 12 years
 


Sea Cliff’s remaining identifiable assets and liabilities had acquisition-date book values that closely approximated fair values. Since acquisition, no assets have been impaired. During the next three years, Sea Cliff reported the following income and dividends:
