Question

Consolidation several years subsequent to date of acquisition—Equity method
Assume that a parent company acquired a subsidiary on January 1, 2014. The purchase price was $765,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s book value of Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date, and that excess was assigned to the following [A] assets:

[A] Asset								Original Amount			Original Useful Life
Property, plant and equipment (PPE), net								$140,000			16	years
Patent								245,000			7	years
License								105,000			10	years
Goodwill								275,000			Indefinite
								$765,000

The [A] assets with definite useful lives have been depreciated or amortized as part of the parent’s preconsolidation equity method accounting. The Goodwill asset has been tested annually for impairment, and has not been found to be impaired. The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2016, are as follows:
