Question: On January 1, 2014, Fig land Company purchased for cash 40% of Irene Company's 300,000 shares of voting common stock for $1,800,000. At the time, 40% of the book value of the underlying equity in Irene's net assets was $1,400,000; $50,000 of the excess was attributed to the excess of fair value over book value of inventory, which Irene accounts for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory method; and $150,000 was attributed to undervaluation of depreciable assets with an average remaining life of 10 years. The remainder was attributed to implicit goodwill. As a result of this transaction, Fig land can exercise significant influence over Irene's operating and financial policies.
