Question - On January 2, 2017, SPU Corporation acquired 30% of the outstanding voting common stock of Vasquez Company for $335,000. This investment enabled SPU to exercise significant influence over Vasquez.

The book value of the acquired shares was $315,000 (the book value of Vasquez Co was $1,050,000). The excess of cost over book value was attributed to a building that was undervalued on Vasquez's balance sheet and that had a remaining useful life of 10 years.
