Goodwill, Equity Method, Eliminating Entries, First Year

On January 1, 2023, Playtel Inc. acquired 75 percent of the stock of San Jose Cable for $200 million in cash. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $50 million, and San Jose's shareholders equity accounts were as follows (in thousands):

Common stock, $1 par	$5,000
Additional paid-in capital	30,000
Retained deficit	(1,000)
Treasury stock	(500)
Total	$33,500

Both companies have a December 31 year-end. At the date of acquisition, San Joses reported net assets had book values approximating fair value. However, it had previously unreported indefinite-life identifiable intangibles valued at $65 million, meeting ASC Topic 805 requirements for capitalization. Impairment losses in 2023 for identifiable intangibles were $500,000. Goodwill from this acquisition was not impaired in 2023. San Jose reported net income of $3 million in 2023, and paid no dividends. Playtel uses the complete equity method to report its investment in San Jose on its own books.
