Question:

Pik Corporation acquired 80 percent of Sel Corporation's common stock on January 1, 2011, for $420,000 cash. The stockholders' equity of Sel at this time consisted of $300,000 capital stock and $100,000 retained earnings. The difference between the fair value of Sel and the underlying equity acquired in Sel was due to a $25,000 undervaluation of Sel's inventory, a $50,000 undervaluation of Sel's equipment, and goodwill.

The undervalued inventory was sold by Sel during 2011, and the undervalued equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. Straight-line depreciation is used.

Sel owed Pik $8,000 on accounts payable at December 31, 2011.
