Why we don't take into account the depreciation of $28,000 instead?

On January 1, 2021, Pride, Inc. acquired 80% of the outstanding voting common stock of Strong Corp. for $364,000. There is no active market for Strongs stock. Of this payment, $28,000 was allocated to equipment (with a five-year life) that had been undervalued on Strong's books by $35,000. Any remaining excess was attributable to goodwill, which has not been impaired.
