Question

On January 1, 2014, Kane Corp. issued shares of its common stock to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Dean Inc. Dean's book value was only $140,000 at the time, but Kane issued 12,000 shares having a par value of $1 per share and a fair value of $20 per share. The buildings (ten-year life) were undervalued on Dean's records by $60,000 while equipment (five-year life) was undervalued by $25,000. Any consideration transferred over fair value of identified net assets acquired is assigned to goodwill.
