Jaynes Incorporated acquired all of Aaron Company's common stock on January 1, 2023, by issuing 11,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. Jaynes' shares had a $17 per share fair value. On that date, Aaron reported a net book value of $120,000. However, its equipment (with a five-year remaining life) was undervalued by $6,000 in the company's accounting records.
