Question :

Albuquerque, Inc., gets 24,000 shares of Marmon corporation several years ago for $690,000. At the acquisition date, Marmon reported a book value of $800,000, and Albuquerque assessed the fair value of the no controlling interest at $172,500. Any excess of acquisition-date fair value over book value was assigned to broadcast licenses with imprecise lives. Since the acquisition date and until this point, Marmon has issued no additional shares. No impairment has been accepted for the broadcast licenses.

At the current time, Marmon reports $930,000 as total stockholders' equity, which is broken down as follows:

Common stock ($10 par value)   $300,000

Additional paid-in capital              320,000

Retained earnings           310,000

Total      $930,000

View the subsequent as independent situations:
