On January 1, 2019 Roberts Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding voting stock of Williams Company in exchange for $726,000 cash. At that time, although Williams book value was $560,000, Roberts assessed Williams total business fair value at $726,000.

The book values of Williams individual assets and liabilities approximated their acquisition-date fair values except for the equipment account which was undervalued by $100,000. The undervalued equipment had a 5-year remaining life at the acquisition date. Any remaining excess fair value was attributed to goodwill.
