Net investment under the sophisticated equity method. On June 30, 2015, the shareholders’ equity of Fabinet, a foreign corporation, was 10,500,000 FC. At that time, Newcore, a U.S. corporation, acquired 40% in Fabinet by paying $3,120,000 when 1 FC was equal to $0.60. Equipment, with a fair market value that exceeded cost by $240,000, accounted for a portion of the cost in excess of book value. The equipment was expected to have a remaining useful life of 10 years and be depreciated using the straight-line method. The balance of the cost in excess of book value was traceable to goodwill.
