On January 2, 2017, SPU Corporation acquired 30% of the outstanding voting common stock of Brough Company for $335,000. This investment enabled SPU to exercise significant influence over Brough.

The book value of the acquired shares was $315,000 (the book value of Brough Co was $1,050,000). The excess of cost over book value was attributed to a building that was undervalued on Brough’s balance sheet and that had a remaining useful life of 10 years.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, Brough reported income of $70,000 and paid cash dividends of $15,000 on its common stock.
