On January 1, 2017, Big Company bought a 15% interest in Small Company. The acquisition price of $195,000 reflected an assessment that all of Small's accounts were fairly valued within the accounting records. During 2017, Small reported net income of $100,000 and paid cash dividends of $30,000. Big possessed the ability to influence significantly Small's operations, and therefore, accounted for this investment using the equity method. On January, 1 2018, Big acquired an additional 80% for $1,500,000 cash. The consideration transferred by Big in its second acquisition of Small represents the best available evidence for measuring the fair value of Small Company at January 1, 2018. Also, as of January 1, 2018, Big assessed a $400,000 value to an unrecorded customer contract recently negotiated by Small. The customer contract is anticipated to have a remaining life of 4-years. Small's other assets and liabilities were judged to have fair values equal to their book values. Big elects to continue applying the equity method to this investment for internal reporting purposes.
