On January 1, 2020, Allan Company bought a 15 percent interest in Sysinger Company. The acquisition price of $208,500 reflected an assessment that all of Sysinger’s accounts were fairly valued within the company’s accounting records. During 2020, Sysinger reported net income of $112,800 and declared cash dividends of $33,700. Allan possessed the ability to significantly influence Sysinger’s operations and, therefore, accounted for this investment using the equity method.

On January 1, 2021, Allan acquired an additional 80 percent interest in Sysinger and provided the following fair-value assessments of Sysinger’s ownership components:


Consideration transferred by Allan for 80% interest	$	1,425,600
Fair value of Allan's 15% previous ownership		267,300
Noncontrolling interest's 5% fair value		89,100
Total acquisition-date fair value for Sysinger Company	$	1,782,000

Also, as of January 1, 2021, Allan assessed a $420,000 value to an unrecorded customer contract recently negotiated by Sysinger. The customer contract is anticipated to have a remaining life of four years. Sysinger’s other assets and liabilities were judged to have fair values equal to their book values. Allan elects to continue applying the equity method to this investment for internal reporting purposes.
