On January 1, 2016, Plymouth Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Sander Company in exchange for $1,200,000 cash. At that time, although Sanders book value was $925,000, Plymouth assessed Sanders total business fair value at $1,500,000. Since that time, Sander has neither issued nor reacquired any shares of its own stock.
The book values of Sander's individual assets and liabilities approximated their acquisition-date fair values except for the patent account, which was undervalued by $350,000. The undervalued patents had a five-year remaining life at the acquisition date. Any remaining excess fair value was attributed to goodwill. No goodwill impairments have occurred.
