Question - On January 1, 20X8, Vector Company acquired 80 percent of Scalar Company's ownership on for $120,000 cash. At that date, the fair value of the non-controlling interest was $30,000. The book value of Scalar's net assets at acquisition was $125,000. The book values and fair values of Scalar's assets and liabilities were equal, except for buildings and equipment, which were worth $15,000 more than book value. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a 10-year basis. Although goodwill is not amortized, the management of Vector concluded at December 31, 20X8, that goodwill from its acquisition of Scalar shares had been impaired and the correct carrying amount was $5,000.
