Review of pre-consolidation equity method (controlling investment in affiliate, fair value differs from book value) Assume that on January 1, 2011, an investor company purchased 100% of the outstanding voting common stock of the investee. On the date of the acquisition, the investees identifiable net assets had fair values that approximated their historical book values, except for tangible fixed assets, which had fair value that was $100,000 higher than the investees recorded book value. The tangible fixed assets had a remaining useful life of 10 years. In addition, the acquisition resulted in goodwill in the amount of $200,000 recognized in the consolidated financial statements of the investor company. Assuming that the investor company uses the equity method to account for its investment in the investee, what is the balance in the investment in investee account in the investor companys pre-consolidation balance sheet on December 31, 2013?

$600,000

$870,000

$900,000

$987,200
