On January 1, 2020, Father assessed the carrying amount of Sons equipment (5-year remaining life) to be undervalued by $53,000. Father also determined that Son possessed an unrecorded customer base (10-year remaining life) worth $327,200. Sons acquisition-date fair values for its current assets and liabilities were equal to their carrying amounts. Any remaining excess of Sons acquisition-date fair value over its book value was attributed to goodwill.
