Question

Python acquired 75% of Slither’s stock for $316 million in cash on January 2, 2015. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Slither was $89 million. Slither’s book value at that time was $120 million. The assets and liabilities reported on Slither’s balance sheet had balances that approximated fair value at the date of acquisition. However, Slither had previously unreported developed technology (10 year life, straight-line), valued at $40 million.

There has been no impairment loss on the developed technology since acquisition. Goodwill was impaired $6 million in 2015, and a $3 million impairment loss should be recorded for 2016.

It is now December 31, 2016. The trial balances of Python and Slither appear below.
