	560,000	222,000

The notes to Tributary Ltds financial statements reported a contingent liability relating to a loan guarantee. Although a present obligation existed, Tributary Ltd did not recognise a liability because of the difficulty of measuring the ultimate amount to be paid.

River Ltd assessed the fair values of the recorded identifiable assets of Tributary Ltd as:

Cash	$1,000
Accounts receivable	21,000
Inventories	16,000
Property, plant and equipment	180,000
Financial assets	$25,000

Tributary Ltd had also been undertaking research into new manufacturing equipment and had expensed a total of $15,000 research costs. River Ltd assessed that the fair value of the in-process research was $6,000. All liabilities were recorded at fair value and the contingent liability was assessed to have a fair value of $2,500. The tax rate is 28%.
