Effects of qualifying as a business on asset acquisitions Assume that on January 1, 2016 an investor company paid $17,400 to an investee company in exchange for the following assets and liabilities transferred from the investee company:

Asset (Liability)	Investee's Book Value	Estimated Fair Value
Production equipment	$1,800	$1,560
Factory	9,000	8,580
Land	600	2,340
Patents	-	3,120

In addition, the investor provided to the seller contingent consideration with a fair value of $200 and the investor paid an additional $600 of transaction costs to an unaffiliated third party. The contingent consideration has a potential settlement value of $450 in two years, and is not a derivative financial instrument. The book values are from the investee's financial records immediately before the exchange. The fair values are measured in accordance with FASB ASC 820: Fair Value Measurement.

Parts a. and b. are independent of each other.
