Pop Corporation owns 40 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Son Corporation, acquired for $200,000 on July 1, 2016, when Son's common stockholders' equity was $400,000. The excess of investment fair value over book value acquired was due to valuable patents owned by Son that were expected to give Son a competitive advantage until July 1, 2021.

At December 31, 2016, Pop sold land to Son at a gain of $4,000. This land is still owned by Son at December 31, 2017.
