Branson paid $546,200 cash for all of the outstanding common stock of Wolfpack, Inc., on January 1, 2020. On that date, the subsidiary had a book value of $420,000 (common stock of $200,000 and retained earnings of $220,000), although various unrecorded royalty agreements (10-year remaining life) were assessed at a $108,000 fair value. Any remaining excess fair value was considered goodwill.

In negotiating the acquisition price, Branson also promised to pay Wolfpack’s former owners an additional $64,000 if Wolfpack’s income exceeded $140,000 total over the first two years after the acquisition. At the acquisition date, Branson estimated the probability-adjusted present value of this contingent consideration at $44,800. On December 31, 2020, based on Wolfpack’s earnings to date, Branson increased the value of the contingency to $51,200.

During the subsequent two years, Wolfpack reported the following amounts for income and dividends:

	Net Income		Dividends Declared
2020	$	77,300	$	20,000
2021		87,300		30,000

In keeping with the original acquisition agreement, on December 31, 2021, Branson paid the additional $64,000 performance fee to Wolfpack’s previous owners.
