Question

Padre, Inc., buys 80 percent of the outstanding common stock of Sierra Corporation on January 1, 2015, for $680,000 cash. At the acquisition date, Sierra’s total fair value, including the noncontrolling interest, was assessed at $850,000 although Sierra’s book value was only $600,000. Also, several individual items on Sierra’s financial records had fair values that differed from their book values as follows:

  Buildings and equipment
  (10-year remaining life)
