Branson paid $537,100 cash for all of the outstanding common stock of Wolfpack, Inc., on January 1, 2020. On that date, the subsidiary had a book value of $353,000 (common stock of $200,000 and retained earnings of $153,000), although various unrecorded royalty agreements (10-year remaining life) were assessed at a $153,000 fair value. Any remaining excess fair value was considered goodwill.

In negotiating the acquisition price, Branson also promised to pay Wolfpacks former owners an additional $57,000 if Wolfpacks income exceeded $120,000 total over the first two years after the acquisition. At the acquisition date, Branson estimated the probability-adjusted present value of this contingent consideration at $39,900. On December 31, 2020, based on Wolfpacks earnings to date, Branson increased the value of the contingency to $45,600.

During the subsequent two years, Wolfpack reported the following amounts for income and dividends:

	Net Income			Dividends Declared
2020	$	66,400		$	25,000
2021		76,400			35,000

In keeping with the original acquisition agreement, on December 31, 2021, Branson paid the additional $57,000 performance fee to Wolfpacks previous owners.
