Ship's net assets on the date of acquisition were 700,000 kroner (NKr). On January 1, 20X5, the book and fair values of the Norwegian subsidiary's identifiable assets and liabilities approximated their fair values except for property, plant, and equipment and patents acquired. The fair value of Ship's property, plant, and equipment exceeded its book value by $18,000. The remaining useful life of Ship's equipment at January 1, 20X5, was 10 years. The remainder of the differential was attributable to a patent having an estimated useful life of 5 years. Ship's trial balance on December 31, 20X5, in kroner, follows:
