Problem: On January 1, 2009, Parker bought a 55% interest in Smith, Inc. Parker paid for the transaction with $3 million cash and 500,000 shares of Parker common stock (par value $1.00 per share). At the time of the acquisition, Smith's book value was $16,970,000. The remaining 45 percent of Smith's shares traded closely near an average price that totaled $8,550,000.
