On January 1, 2015, Bactin Corporation acquired 10% of Oakton Company for
$100,000. On that date, the total book value and fair value of Oakton’s net assets was
$900,000. Any difference between cost and fair value is attributable to goodwill. In
2015, Oakton reported net income of $60,000 and paid dividends of $30,000. On
January 1, 2016, Bactin Corporation bought another 10% of Oakton for $100,000, and
on that date, the book value and fair value of Oakton’s net assets still was $900,000 (the
fair value of Oakton did not change during 2015). Bactin concluded that its 20%
ownership now allowed it to significantly influence Oakton’s operations. In 2016,
Oakton reported net income of $80,000 and paid dividends of $40,000.
