Mona paid $76,000 in cash for the preferred stock, with a call value of 110 percent of the $50 per share par value. The remaining 40 percent of the preferred shares traded at a $45,000 fair value. Mona paid $588,000 for the common stock. At the acquisition date, the noncontrolling interest in the common stock had a fair value of $147,000.

On January 2, 2017, these bonds had a total $93,660 carrying amount. Mona paid $53,465, indicating an effective interest rate of 6 percent.
