On January 1, 2011, Pride, Inc. acquired 80% of the outstanding voting common stock of Strong Corp. for $364,000. There is no active market for Strong's stock. Of this payment, $28,000 was allocated to equipment (with a five-year life) that had been undervalued on Strong's books by $35,000.

Only half of this purchase had been paid for by Strong by the end of the year. 60% of these goods were still in the company's possession on December 31.
