Question

On January 1, 2020, Holland Corporation paid $9 per share to a group of Zeeland Corporation shareholders to acquire 60,000 shares of Zeeland’s outstanding voting stock, representing a 60 percent ownership interest. The remaining 40,000 shares of Zeeland continued to trade in the market close to its recent average of $7.50 per share both before and after the acquisition by Holland. Zeeland’s acquisition date balance sheet follows:

Current assets	$	14,100		Liabilities	$	213,500
Property and equipment (net)		308,100		Common stock		100,000
Patents		191,300		Retained earnings		200,000
	$	513,500			$	513,500

On January 1, 2020, Holland assessed the carrying amount of Zeeland’s equipment (5-year remaining life) to be undervalued by $56,000. Holland also determined that Zeeland possessed unrecorded patents (10-year remaining life) worth $290,200. Zeeland’s acquisition-date fair values for its current assets and liabilities were equal to their carrying amounts. Any remaining excess of Zeeland’s acquisition-date fair value over its book value was attributed to goodwill.
