Balch acquired 80 percent of Birch's outstanding shares on January 1, 2016, in exchange for $369,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $353,000 and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $92,250 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Birch's accounting records was undervalued by $19,000. Balch assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Birch's patented technology (five-year remaining life).
