Goodwill, Equity Method, Eliminating Entries, First Year

On January 1, 2020, 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 Playtels shareholders equity accounts were as follows (in thousands):

Common stock, $1 par	$5,000
Additional paid-in capital	25,000
Retained deficit	(1,000)
Treasury stock	(800)
Total	$28,200

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 $50 million, meeting ASC Topic 805 requirements for capitalization. Impairment losses in 2020 for identifiable intangibles were $1 million. Goodwill from this acquisition was not impaired in 2020. San Jose reported net income of $4 million in 2020, and paid no dividends. Playtel uses the complete equity method to report its investment in San Jose on its own books.
