Suburban purchased HiQ Printers, which had high speed production printing presses in all of Suburban’s distribution areas. Suburban purchased 60% of the company’s shares in exchange for its own shares. At the time of the purchase, there were 8 million shares of HiQ Printers outstanding trading at $14 per share. The fair value of HiQ Printers’ net identifiable assets at that time was $99 million. Exhibit 4 shows the shareholders’ equity of both companies prior to the business combination.
Suburban, which reports under US GAAP, has a history of purchasing community news groups from around the country.

$532,200.
解释：
The shareholders’ equity section of the post-acquisition consolidated balance sheet will consist of the capital stock and retained earnings account of the parent and the non-controlling interest of the minority shareholders. Under US GAAP, the value of the non-controlling interest is equal to the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the subsidiary’s fair value.
在计算母公司Equity的时候，正常是母公司的Equity+MI，这里还加上了购买成本，是因为母公司是发行新股来购买，所以要加上购买成本？
