On January 1, 2020 Wooldrik Inc. acquired 5,600 shares (with a par value of 500 per share) of Leuriks Corporation. The consideration transferred for these shares exists of two parts:
- Wooldrik issues 2,800 new shares that have a par value of 250 per share. On that date the total book value per share of Wooldrik is 1,250 and the fair value per share is 1,875;
- Wooldrik pays an additional amount of 875 in cash for each purchased share of Leuriks.
On January 1, 2020 the balance sheet of Leuriks shows the following accounts:
Balance sheet Leuriks, January 1, 2017 (x 1.000)
Land and buildings | 30,000 | Common stock | 10,000 | |
Equipment | 10,000 | Additional paid-in capital | 5,000 | |
Inventory | 4,500 | Retained earnings | 12,000 | |
Accounts receivable | 3,500 | Long-term liabilities | 6,000 | |
Cash | 2,000 | Current liabilities | 17,000 | |

| 50,000 | |
At January 1, 2020, the fair value of the buildings is 6,000,000 higher than the book value. The remaining life of those buildings is 15 years. The fair value of the accounts receivable of Leuriks is assessed to be 300,000 lower than the book value. All of the other book values represent the fair values of the assets and liabilities.
Leuriks generated net income of 4,500,000 in 2020 and it paid a cash dividend of 10% of its common stock to its stockholders. By the end of 2020, from the point of view of Wooldrik, the accounts receivable of Leuriks are worth 200,000 less than their book value. This lower value is taken into account for calculating the equity value of the investment in Leuriks.
