On January 1, 20X5, Taft Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Vikix, Inc., a Norwegian company, at a cost of $162,000. Vikixs net assets on the date of acquisition were 700,000 kroner (NKr). On January 1, 20X5, the book and fair values of the Norwegian subsidiarys identifiable assets and liabilities approximated their fair values except for property, plant, and equipment and patents acquired. The fair value of Vikixs property, plant, and equipment exceeded its book value by $18,000. The remaining useful life of Vikixs equipment at January 1, 20X5, was 10 years.
