Question
On December 31, Pacifica, Inc., acquired 100 percent of the voting stock of Seguros Company. Pacifica will maintain Seguros as a
wholly owned subsidiary with its own legal and accounting identity. The consideration transferred to the owner of Seguros included
56,500 newly issued Pacifica common shares ($20 market value, $5 par value) and an agreement to pay an additional $130,000 cash
if Seguros meets certain project completion goals by December 31 of the following year. Pacifica estimates a 50 percent probability
that Seguros will be successful in meeting these goals and uses a 4 percent discount rate to represent the time value of money.
Immediately prior to the acquisition, the following data for both firms were available:
