Multistep Acquisition
Jackson Corporation purchased shares of Phillips Corporation in the following sequence:
Date | Number of Shares Purchased | Amount Paid |
January 1, 20X6 | 1,000 shares | $25,000 |
January 1, 20X8 | 500 shares | 15,000 |
January 1, 20X9 | 2,000 shares | 70,000 |
The book value of Phillips’s net assets at January 1, 20X6, was $200,000. Each year since Jackson first purchased shares, Phillips has reported net income of $70,000 and paid dividends of $20,000. The amount paid in excess of the book value of Phillips’s net assets was attributed to the increase in the value of identifiable intangible assets with a remaining life of five years at the date the shares of Phillips were purchased. Phillips has had 10,000 shares of voting common stock outstanding throughout the four-year period.
