Exercise 36

On January 1, 2010, Travers Company acquired 90 percent of Yarrow Company's outstanding stock for $720,000.The 10 percent noncontrolling interest had an assessed fair value of $80,000 on that date.Any acquisition-date excess fair value over book value was attributed to an unrecorded customer list developed by Yarrow with a remaining life of 15 years.
On the same date, Yarrow acquired an 80 percent interest in Stookey Company for $344,000.At the acquisition date, the 20 percent noncontrolling interest fair value was $86,000.Any excess fair value was attributed to a fully amortized copyright that had a remaining life of 10 years.Although both investments are accounted for using the initial value method, neither Yarrow nor Stookey have distributed dividends since the acquisition date.Travers has a policy to pay cash dividends each year equal to 40 percent of operational earnings.Reported income totals for 2011 follow:
