Paramount Corporation acquired its 75 percent investment in Sun Corporation in January 2012, for $1,455,000 and accounts for its investment internally using the complete equity method. At the acquisition date, total book value of Sun was $750,000 including $400,000 of retained earnings, and the estimated fair value of the 25 percent noncontrolling interest was $395,000. The fair values of Sun's assets and liabilities were equal to their carrying values, except for the following items:
Fair value less Book value
Accounts receivable
$(50,000)
Inventory

Equipment (10 years, straight-line)
(200,000)
Patents (5 years, straight-line)
100,000
Deferred tax liabilities (created as a result of the nontaxable acquisition)
37,500
The receivables were collected and the inventory sold during the first three years following the acquisition. Deferred tax liabilities of $30,000 were reversed during 2012–2017. An impairment test made at the end of 2017 indicates a remaining value of $1,000,000 for the goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition. Sun's stockholders' equity is $1,250,000 including $900,000 of retained earnings, at the end of 2017.
