On January 1, 2016, Pride purchased 90 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Star, Inc., for $540,000 cash. The acquisition-date fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $60,000. At January 1, 2016, Star’s net assets had a total carrying amount of $420,000. Equipment (eight-year remaining life) was undervalued on Star’s financial records by $80,000. Any remaining excess fair value over book value was attributed to a customer list developed by Star (four-year remaining life), but not recorded on its books. Star recorded net income of $70,000 in 2016 and $80,000 in 2017. Each year since the acquisition, Star has declared a $20,000 dividend. At January 1, 2018, Pride’s retained earnings show a $250,000 balance. Selected account balances for the two companies from their separate operations were as follows:
