Beatty, Inc. acquires 100% of the voting stock of Gataux Company on January 1, 2010 for $500,000 cash. A contingent payment of $12,000 will be paid on April 1, 2011 if Gataux generates cash flows from operations of $26,500 or more in the next year.

The fair value of $12,000 at 4%, using a probability weighted approach, is $3,461. Assuming Gataux generates cash flow from operations of $27,200 in 2010, how will Beatty record the $12,000 payment of cash on April 1, 2011 in satisfaction of its contingent obligation?
