Answer:

"$9,410,000" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fair value,

= $12600000

Cash difference,

= $1070000

Books value before transaction,

= $8340000

Now,

The deferred gain will be:

= [tex](Fair \ value-Cash \ difference)-Books \ value \ before \ transaction[/tex]

= [tex](12600000 -1070000)-8340000[/tex]

= [tex]11530000 -8340000[/tex]

= [tex]3,190,000[/tex] ($)

hence,

The Kurtz contact value will be:

= Fair value - Deferred gain

= [tex]12600000-3190000[/tex]

= [tex]9,410,000[/tex] ($)
