5. Question : (TCO A) On January 1, 2008, Dawson, Incorporated, paid $100,000 for a 30% interest in Sacco Corporation. This investee had assets with a book value of $550,000 and liabilities of $300,000. A patent held by Sacco having a book value of $10,000 was actually worth $40,000 with a six year remaining life. Any goodwill associated with this acquisition is considered to have an indefinite life. During 2008, Sacco reported income of $50,000 and paid dividends of $20,000 while in 2009 it reported income of $75,000 and dividends of $30,000.
Assume Dawson has the ability to significantly influence the operations of Sacco. The amount allocated to goodwill at January 1, 2008 is
: $25,000
$13,000
$9,000
$16,000 (ch 1, pg 13)
$10,000
Instructor Explanation: Net book value = $250K + $30K - bring patent to fair value = $280K x 30% = $84,000. Paid $100,000, so goodwill is difference of $16,000.

3. Question : (TCO C) TJV Co. obtained all of the common stock of NTB Co. on January 1, 2009. As of that date, NTB had the following trial balance:
During 2009, NTB reported net income of $96,000 while paying dividends of $12,000. During 2010, NTB reported net income of $132,000 while paying dividends of $36,000. Assume that TJV Co. acquired the common stock of NTB Co. for $588,000 in cash and properly accounted for this acquisition under the acquisition method.
As of January 1, 2009, NTB's land had a fair value of $102,000, its buildings were valued at $188,000 and its equipment was appraised at $216,000.
