Green acquired 100% of Vega on January 1, 2019, by issuing 10,500 shares of its $10 par value common stock with a fair value of $95 per share. On January 1, 2019, Vega's land was undervalued by $40,000, its buildings were overvalued by $30,000, and equipment was undervalued by $80,000. The buildings have a 20-year life and the equipment has a 10-year life. $50,000 was attributed to an unrecorded trademark with a 16-year remaining life. There was no goodwill associated with this investment.

Buildings were overvalued. Hence, some of the depreciation needs to be reversed.

In case of equipment and trademark, depreciation and amortization shall be applicable.
