Equity method and consolidations Assume that a parent company acquired 80% of the outstanding voting common stock of a subsidiary on January 1, 2018. On the acquisition date, the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary had fair values that approximated their recorded book values except for a patent, which had a fair value of $200,000 and no recorded book value.
