The Holtz Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Devine, Inc., for $7.50 per share on January 1, 2017. The remaining 20 percent of Devine’s shares also traded actively at $7.50 per share before and after Holtz’s acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Devine’s underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year future life was undervalued by $46,500 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $76,000 fair value. At the acquisition date, Devine reported common stock of $100,000 and a retained earnings balance of $351,500.
