On January 1,2024, Brandon Company acquires 70% of Chamber Company for $2,800,000 in cash consideration. The remaining 30
percent noncontrolling interest shares had an acquisition-date estimated fair value of $1,200,000. Chamber's acquisition-date total
book value was $3,500,000.
The fair value of Chamber's recorded assets and liabilities equaled their carrying amounts. However, Chamber had two unrecorded
assets-a trademark with an indefinite life and estimated fair value of $40,000 and several customer relationships estimated to be
worth $400,000 with eight-year remaining lives. Any remaining acquisition-date fair value in the Chamber acquisition was
considered goodwill.
During 2024, Chamber reported $580,000 net income and declared and paid dividends totaling $30,000. Also in 2024, Bratdon
reported $920,000 net income, but neither declared nor paid dividends.

December 31,2024?
