If instead the noncontrolling interest shares of leahy had


Question - The Krause Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Leahy, Inc., for $6.80 per share on January 1, 2012. The remaining 20 percent of Leahy's shares also traded actively at $6.80 per share before and after Krause's acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Leahy's underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year life was undervalued by $84,000 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $81,000 fair value. At the acquisition date, Leahy reported common stock of $100,000 and a retained earnings balance of $254,000.
