On January 1, 2017, Grand Haven, Inc., reports net assets of $945,300 although equipment (with a four-year remaining life) having a book value of $510,000 is worth $591,500 and an unrecorded patent is valued at $45,000. Van Buren Corporation pays $857,440 on that date to acquire an 80 percent equity ownership in Grand Haven. If the patent has a remaining life of nine years, at what amount should the patent be reported on Van Buren's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018?
