Transcribed Image Text:Branson paid $539,500 cash for all of the outstanding common stock of Wolfpack, Inc., on January 1, 2020. On that date, the
subsidiary had a book value of $378,000 (common stock of $200,000 and retained earnings of $178,000), although various
unrecorded royalty agreements (10-year remaining life) were assessed at a $135,000 fair value. Any remaining excess fair value was
considered goodwill.
In negotiating the acquisition price, Branson also promised to pay Wolfpack's former owners an additional $55,000 if Wolfpack's
income exceeded $110,000 total over the first two years after the acquisition. At the acquisition date, Branson estimated the
probability-adjusted present value of this contingent consideration at $38,500. On December 31, 2020, based on Wolfpack's earnings
to date, Branson increased the value of the contingency to $44,000.
During the subsequent two years, Wolfpack reported the following amounts for income and dividends:
Dividends Declared
2020
2021
Net Income
$ 58,000
68,000
$10,000
20,000
In keeping with the original acquisition agreement, on December 31, 2021, Branson paid the additional $55,000 performance fee to
Wolfpack's previous owners.
Prepare each of the following:
a. Branson's entry to record the acquisition of the shares of its Wolfpack subsidiary.
b. Branson's entries at the end of 2020 and 2021 to adjust its contingent performance obligation for changes in fair value and the
December 31, 2021, payment.

d. Prepare consolidation worksheet entries as of December 31, 2021, assuming that Branson has applied the initial value method.
