On July 31, 2017, Blossom Company paid $2,950,000 to acquire all of the common stock of Conchita Incorporated, which became a division of Blossom. Conchita reported the following balance sheet at the time of the acquisition.

Current assets		$710,000		Current liabilities		$510,000
Noncurrent assets		2,650,000		Long-term liabilities		410,000
Total assets		$3,360,000		Stockholders equity		2,440,000
				Total liabilities and stockholders equity		$3,360,000

It was determined at the date of the purchase that the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Conchita was $2,655,000. Over the next 6 months of operations, the newly purchased division experienced operating losses. In addition, it now appears that it will generate substantial losses for the foreseeable future. At December 31, 2017, Conchita reports the following balance sheet information.

Current assets		$430,000
Noncurrent assets (including goodwill recognized in purchase)		2,350,000
Current liabilities		(700,000	)
Long-term liabilities		(500,000	)
Net assets		$1,580,000

It is determined that the fair value of the Conchita Division is $1,850,000. The recorded amount for Conchitas net assets (excluding goodwill) is the same as fair value, except for property, plant, and equipment, which has a fair value $100,000 above the carrying value.
