On January 1, 2015, Pub Corporation made a significant acquisition, purchasing 75 percent of Sub
Corporation's outstanding voting stock for a total of $4,200,000. Sub Corporation's stockholders'
equity at that time was made up of the following components (all values in thousands):
Capital stock with a par value of $10: $2,000
Additional paid-in capital: $1200
Retained earnings as of December 31, 2014: $1500
Total stockholders' equity: $4700
The surplus fair value of the net assets obtained from this acquisition was allocated as follows: 10
percent to underappreciated inventory (which was subsequently sold in 2015), 40 percent to
underappreciated plant assets with a remaining useful life of eight years, and the remaining 50 percent
to goodwill.
Fast forward to December 31, 2019, and we have the comparative trial balances for both Pub
