manufacturer, was seeking to gain a foothold in Canada. Toward that
end, the company bought 40% of the outstanding common shares of
Vancouver Timber and Milling, Inc., on January 2, 2021, for $470
million.

sheet items were the same except for inventory and plant
facilities. The fair value exceeded book value by $10 million for
the inventory and by $15 million for the plant facilities.
The estimated useful life of the plant facilities is 15 years. All
inventory acquired was sold during 2021.
Vancouver reported net income of $210 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. Vancouver paid a cash dividend of $30
million.
