Pacer Corporation acquired 80% of Slicker Companys voting stock for $36,250 on January 1, 2019. The reported equity of Slicker on January 1, 2019 was $3,000 in common stock and $9,000 in retained earnings. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $7,750. Slickers assets and liabilities were reported at fair value at the date of acquisition, except for these items:

| Land | $2,000 | $8,000 |
| Buildings | 8,000 | 3,000 |
| Identifiable intangibles | 0 | 10,000 |

Goodwill is impaired by $2,000 in 2019 and is unimpaired in 2020. The land, buildings, and identifiable intangibles are still held by Slicker.
