Consolidation at date of acquisition (purchase price greater than book value, acquisition journal entries, deferred tax liability) Assume that the parent company acquires its subsidiary by exchanging 116,000 shares of its $1 par value Common Stock, with a market value on the acquisition date of $30 per share, for all of the outstanding voting shares of the investee. In its analysis of the investee company, the parent values all of the subsidiary's assets and liabilities at an amount equaling their book values except for PPE assets that are undervalued by $1 million, an unrecorded Customer List that the parent values at $200,000, and an unrecorded Brand Name asset valued at $500,000. In addition, the purchase and sale agreement provides for contingent consideration in the event that the subsidiary meets earnings targets. You feel that the fair value of that contingent consideration liability is $400,000 on the acquisition date. And, finally, assume that the tax basis of the PPE assets is equal to their book values, and your tax rate is 35%.

a. Prepare the journal entry that the parent makes to record the acquisition.
