Question:

On January 1, 2009, Peterson Corporation exchanged $ 1,090,000 fair-value consideration for all of the outstanding voting stock of Santiago, Inc. At the acquisition date, Santiago had a book value equal to $950,000. Santiago’s individual assets and liabilities had fair values equal to their respective book values except for the patented technology account, which was undervalued by $240,000 with an estimated remaining life of six years. The Santiago acquisition was Peterson’s only business com¬ bination for the year.

In case expected synergies did not materialize, Peterson Corporation wished to prepare for a potential future spin-off of Santiago, Inc. Therefore, Peterson had Santiago maintain its separate incorporation and independent accounting information system as elements of continuing value.
