a)Compute Subsidence’s 20X7 reported net income. b)Compute Plate’s 20X7 income from its own separate operations, excluding any investment income from its investment in Subsidence Mining.
In its 20X7 consolidated income statement, Plate Development Company reported consolidated net income of $962,000 and $42,000 of income assigned to the 30 percent noncontrolling interest in its only subsidiary, Subsidence Mining Incorporated During the year, Subsidence had sold a previously mined parcel of land to Plate for a new housing development; the sales price to Plate was $475,000, and the land had a carrying amount at the time of sale of $590,000. At the beginning of the previous year, Plate had sold excavation and grading equipment to Subsidence for $267,000; the equipment had a remaining life of 6 years as of the date of sale and a book value of $216,000. The equipment originally had cost $360,000 when Plate purchased it on January 2, 20X2. The equipment never was expected to have any salvage value.
Plate had acquired 70 percent of the voting shares of Subsidence eight years earlier when the fair value of its net assets was $270,000 higher than book value, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $81,000 more than a proportionate share of the book value of Subsidence’s net assets. All the excess over the book value was attributable to intangible assets with a remaining life of 10 years from the date of combination. Both parent and subsidiary use straight-line amortization and depreciation. Assume Plate uses the fully adjusted equity method.
