Scost Company declared a $50,000 cash dividend on December 20, Year 1, payable on January 10, Year 2, to stockholders of record on December 31, Year 1. Pcost Company recognized the dividend on its declaration date. Pcost includes dividend income receivable in the accounts receivable account.
On the acquisition date, the book values and fair values of Scost's assets and liabilities were equal with the following exceptions.

Any difference between book value and fair value for property and equipment is depreciated over seven years. Depreciation expense is reported on the income statement in Selling, General, and Administration expense. The entire amount of inventory acquired was sold in Year 1.
No payments were made for the earn-out at the end of year 1, and the adjustment to contingent consideration included only interest adjustments (no change in fair value was expected since the actual and target levels for revenue were equal at the end of year 1).
Both companies report depreciation expense as a component of Selling, General, and Administration expense on the income statement. For the year ending December 31, Year 1, Pcost and Scost reported depreciation expense of $96,000 and $72,000, respectively. Both companies use straight-line and use the full-year option in computing depreciation expense (i.e., they take a full year's depreciation on any asset acquired during the year).
