Multiple Choice

Meyer Jewelers purchased 18,000,000 of the outstanding 60,000,000 shares of Angel & Associates. Meyer has significant influence over Angel, so Meyer will account for this investment using the equity method. On the purchase date, Angel had net assets with a book value of $7,300,000 and a fair value of $7,900,000. The difference in fair value is a result of the higher fair value of equipment than its book value. The remaining useful life of this equipment is 25 years. Assuming this investment was purchased on 1/1, which of the following is the correct journal entry to record the difference in net assets for this investment on 12/31?
