McGuire Company acquired 90 percent of Hogan Company on January 1, 2022, for $234,000 cash. This amount is reflective of Hogans total acquisition-date fair value. Hogan's stockholders' equity consisted of common stock of $160,000 and retained earnings of $80,000. An analysis of Hogan's net assets revealed the following:

Buildings (10-year life) $ 10,000 $ 8,000
Equipment (4-year life) 14,000 18,000
Land 5,000 12,000
