Green acquired 100% of Vega on January 1, 2019, by issuing 10,500 shares of its $10 par value common stock with a fair value of $95 per share. On January 1, 2019, Vega's land was undervalued by $40,000, its buildings were overvalued by $30,000, and equipment was undervalued by $80,000. The buildings have a 20-year life and the equipment has a 10-year life. $50,000 was attributed to an unrecorded trademark with a 16-year remaining life. There was no goodwill associated with this investment.
