Pot Corporation acquired all the outstanding stock of Ski Corporation on April 1, 2011, for $15,000,000, when Ski’s stockholders’ equity consisted of $5,000,000 capital stock and $2,000,000 retained earnings. The price reflected a $500,000 undervaluation of Ski’s inventory (sold in 2011) and a $3,500,000 undervaluation of Ski’s buildings (remaining useful life seven years from April 1, 2011).
