Problem 12-4

On July 31, 2017, Crane Company paid $2,750,000 to acquire all of the common stock of Conchita Incorporated, which became a division of Crane. Conchita reported the following balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Current assets $890,000 Current liabilities $580,000 Noncurrent assets 2,450,000 Long-term liabilities 480,000 Total assets $3,340,000 Stockholders equity 2,280,000 Total liabilities and stockholders equity $3,340,000

It was determined at the date of the purchase that the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Conchita was $2,480,000. Over the next 6 months of operations, the newly purchased division experienced operating losses. In addition, it now appears that it will generate substantial losses for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2017, Conchita reports the following balance sheet information.

Current assets $430,000 Noncurrent assets (including goodwill recognized in purchase) 2,370,000 Current liabilities (600,000 ) Long-term liabilities (400,000 ) Net assets $1,800,000

It is determined that the fair value of the Conchita Division is $1,850,000. The recorded amount for Conchitas net assets (excluding goodwill) is the same as fair value, except for property, plant, and equipment, which has a fair value $100,000 above the carrying value.
