Hepner Corporation has the following stockholders’ equity accounts:
Preferred stock (7% cumulative dividend) | $ | 580,000 |
Common stock | 830,000 | |
Additional paid-in capital | 380,000 | |
Retained earnings | 1,030,000 | |
The preferred stock is participating. Wasatch Corporation buys 70 percent of this common stock for $1,680,000 and 60 percent of the preferred stock for $660,000. The acquisition-date fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the common shares was $720,000 and was $440,000 for the preferred shares. All of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are viewed as having fair values equal to their book values.
What amount is attributed to goodwill on the date of acquisition?
Step-1
Compute assumed value of net assets as follows:
Assumed value of net assets = common stock + additional paid in capital + retained earnings + preferred stock
Assumed value of net assets = 830000 + 380000 + 1030000 + 580000
Assumed value of net assets = $ 2820000
Step -2
Fair value of asset acquired = Assumed value of net assets - fair value of non-controlling interest
Fair value of asset acquired = 2820000 - 720000 - 440000
Fair value of asset acquired = $ 16660000
Step - 3
Goodwill value on acquisition = purchase cost of stock - Fair value of asset acquired
Goodwill value on acquisition = 1680000 + 660000 - 1660000
Goodwill value on acquisition = $ 680000
