At January 1, the book values of Amsterdam's assets and liabilities approximated their fair values. On June 30, 2015, Morey paid $616,000 for an additional 70 percent of Amsterdam, thus increasing its overall ownership to 95 percent. The price paid for the 70 percent acquisition was proportionate to Amsterdam's total fair value. At June 30, the carrying amounts of Amsterdam's assets and liabilities approximated their fair values.
