Question - On January 1, 2021 Parent Corp. acquires 80% of Sub Inc. for $1,712,000 in cash consideration. The remaining 20% noncontrolling interest shares had an acquisition-date estimated fair value of $428,000. Sub's acquisition-date total book value was $1,700,000.

The fair value of Sub's recorded assets and liabilities equaled their carrying amounts. However, Sub had two unrecorded assets - a trademark with an indefinite life and estimated fair value of $245,000 and several customer relationships estimated to be worth $180,000 with four-year remaining lives. Any remaining acquisition-date fair value in the Sub acquisition was considered goodwill.

During 2021 Sub reported $172,000 net income and declared and paid dividends totaling  $50,000. Also in 2021 Parent reported $350,000 net income, but neither declared nor paid dividends.
