Question

Patrick Corporation acquired 100 percent of O’Brien Company’s outstanding common stock on January 1 for $700,400 in cash. O’Brien reported net assets with a carrying amount of $440,000 at that time. Some of O’Brien’s assets either were unrecorded (having been internally developed) or had fair values that differed from book values as follows:

 

  Book
Values
Fair
Values
Trademarks (indefinite life) $ 94,500 $ 238,500
Customer relationships (5-year remaining life)   0   75,000
Equipment (10-year remaining life)   352,000   310,300
 

 

Any goodwill is considered to have an indefinite life with no impairment charges during the year.

 

The following are financial statements at the end of the first year for these two companies prepared from their separately maintained accounting systems. O’Brien declared and paid dividends in the same period. Credit balances are indicated by parentheses.
