Question

Park Corporation acquired the voting stock of Sequoia Company on January 1, 2020 for $25 million in cash and stock. At the date of acquisition, Sequoia's book value totaled $3 million, consisting of $1.6 million in capital stock, $1.8 million in retained earnings, and $400,000 in accumulated other comprehensive losses.

Sequoia also had previously unreported identifiable intangibles (5-year life, straight-line) valued at $5,000,000.

It is now December 31, 2020. Sequoia reports net income of $1,200,000 and other comprehensive income of $50,000 for 2020 and declares and pays dividends of $200,000. None of the revaluations are impaired in 2020. Park uses the complete equity method to account for its investment.
