On January 1, 2012, Cranbrook Corporation acquired 75% of the outstanding common shares of Creston Company for a cash payment of $6,000,000.  Costs associated with the acquisition amounted to $600,000.  On that date, Creston's balance sheet included common shares of $4,400,000 and retained earnings of $2,200,000.  The identifiable net assets of Creston were equal to their book values except that capital assets had a fair value that was $600,000 greater than their carrying value.  These capital assets had a remaining life of twenty years and no significant anticipated residual value after that time.  Inventories had a fair value which was $150,000 less than their book value.  These inventories were all sold by the end of 2012.  In addition, long-term debt had a fair value that was $170,000 greater than its carrying value.  The long-term debt matures on June 30, 2020.  Goodwill arising from the business combination was assessed annually for impairment.  The only impairment since the acquisition date amounted to $100,000 in 2015.
