Ireland Corporation purchased copyrights on January 1, 2019, for
$6,000,000. At the end of 2022, the copyrights had a fair value of
$3,200,000 and were being carried at $5,200,000. The copyrights are
expected to generate $4,700,000 of future net cash flows and have a
remaining useful life of 5 years as of 12/31/2022. Ireland will
continue to use the copyrights in the future.
On February 1, 2022, Ireland paid $3,500,000 to acquire all of
the common stock of Shamrock Corporation, which became a division
of Ireland. At the time of the acquisition, Shamrock’s balance
sheet reported $3.6 million of total assets and $1.1 million of
total liabilities. At the date of the purchase, it was determined
that the fair value of Shamrock’s identifiable net assets was $3.1
million. On December 31, 2022, Shamrock’s balance sheet reported
$800,000 of current assets, $2.4 million of noncurrent assets
(including any Goodwill recognized in purchase), and $1.2 million
of total liabilities. The fair value of the Shamrock division on
December 31, 2022, is determined to be $1,950,000.
