Accounting

Over a 4 year period the black corp purchased 100% of the outstanding voting shares of White Co. The acquisition was made in a series of steps as follows:

DATE: % Purchase Price

Jan 1, Year 1 5% 5,000

Jan 1, Year 2 10% 12,000

Jan 1, Year 3 10% 15,000

Jan 1, Year 4 75% 200,000

Total 100% 232,000

Any excess of the purchase price over the net book value of the assets was attributed to goodwill.

The acquisition in Year 3 allowed Black to have significant influence over the operating policies of white.

The acquisition in Year 4 gave Black control over White.

Operating results, dividends paid and fair value of white for the 4 years were as follows:
