Harrison, Inc. acquires 100% of the voting stock of Rhine Company on January 1, 2007 for $400,000 cash. A contingent payment of $16,500 will be paid on April 15, 2008 if Rhine generates cash flows from operations of $27,000 or more in the next year. Harrison estimates that there is a 20% probability that Rhine will generate at least $27,000 next year, and uses an interest rate of 5% to incorporate the time value of money. The fair value of $16,500 at 5%, using a probability weighted approach, is $3,142.

A) 400,000

B) 406,000

    C) 403,142

    Explanation:

    The computation of the acquisition price on January 1, 2007 is shown below:

    = Probability weighted approach + acquiring voting stock for cash

    = $3,142 + $400,000

    = $403,142

    We simply added the fair value after considering the 5% i. e $3,142 and the acquiring voting stock i. e $400,000
