On January 1, 2018, Hanson Inc. purchased 54,000 voting shares out of Marvin Inc.'s 90,000 outstanding voting shares for $240,000. On that date, Marvin's common shares and retained earnings were valued at $60,000 and $90,000, respectively. Marvin's book values approximated its fair values on the acquisition date with the exception of the company's equipment, which was estimated to have a fair value that was $50,000 in excess of its recorded book value.
