On July 1, 2013, Killearn Company acquired 88,000 of the outstanding shares of Shaun Company for $13 per share. This acquisition gave Killearn a 25 percent ownership of Shaun and allowed Killearn to significantly influence the investee's decisions.
As of July 1, 2013, the investee had assets with a book value of $3 million and liabilities of $74,400. At the time, Shaun held equipment appraised at $364,000 above book value; it was considered to have a 7-year remaining life with no salvage value. Shaun also held a copyright with a 5-year remaining life on its books that was undervalued by $972,000. Any remaining excess cost was attributable to goodwill.
