On December 31, Year 4, RAV Company purchased 60% of the outstanding common shares of ENS Company for $960,000. On that date, ENS had common shares of $500,000 and retained earnings of $125,000. In negotiating the purchase price, it was agreed that recorded assets and liabilities were fairly valued except for equipment, which had a $24,000 excess of carrying amount over fair value, and land, which had a $150,000 excess of fair value over carrying amount. The equipment had a remaining useful life of six years at the acquisition date and no salvage value. ENS did not record the fair value deficiency on the equipment because ENS felt that it would recover the carrying amount of this equipment through future cash flows. In addition, ENS registered and owns a number of Internet domain names, which are estimated to be worth $100,000. The right to the names expires in 12 years but the registration can be renewed for 20 years every 20 years, for a nominal fee.
