Explanation of Solution

An acquisition of assets is the purchase of a corporation by purchasing its assets rather than its stock. An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

The required journal entry recorded by the parent is as follows:

DateAccount title and ExplanationPost RefDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Cash $97,500 
 Accumulated depreciation $37,500 
 Equipment  $112,500
 Gain on sale of Equipment  $22,500
 

(To record the sale of equipment)

 Equipment $15,000 
 Accumulated depreciation  $37,500
 

(To adjust Gain, Equipment, and Accumulated Depreciation on the date of the intercompany transfer of equipment – given that the transaction occurred at the beginning of the year, usage of the equipment for the year must be reflected in a separate entry)

   
     
 [Idep] PPE, net $3,750 
 Depreciation Expense  $3,750
 (To eliminate the excess depreciation expense recorded by the subsidiary, and to adjust accumulated depreciation from the BOY amount to the EOY amount)

Working notes:

In January of 2018, the parent sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $97,500. The subsidiary retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 6-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the subsidiary on equipment is $97,500/6 i.e., $16,250

The parent had acquired the equipment at a cost of $112,500 and depreciated the equipment over its 9-year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $112,500/9 i.e., $12,500.

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$16,250$12,500=$3,750

Explanation of Solution

The portion of gain noticed on a property exchange that is not currently taxed. The gain is generally taxed when the property acquired in the exchange is sold. An exchange of property that is not currently taxed is part of the realized gain. The gain is generally taxed at the time of sale of the property acquired at the exchange.

In January of 2018, the parent sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $97,500. The subsidiary retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 6-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the subsidiary on equipment is $97,500/6 i.e., $16,250

The parent had acquired the equipment at a cost of $112,500 and depreciated the equipment over its 9-year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $112,500/9 i.e., $12,500.

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$16,250$12,500=$3,750

Operating expenses of the subsidiary is $109,500

Gain on the sale of equipment is $60,000

Through the BOY, one year has passed, so the deferred gain at the start of the current year is as follows:

Deferred gain=$22,5001×$3,750=$18,750

Hence, the remaining portion of the deferred gain on Jan 1, 2019 is $18,750.

To determine

Compute the amount of net income (loss) from subsidiary reported by the parent company for the year ended Dec 31, 2019 assuming that the parent applied the equity method.

Explanation of Solution

Equity income is money generated from stock dividends that investors can access by buying dividend-declared stocks or by buying funds that invest in dividend-declared stocks.

Subsidiary net income is $123,000

AAP Depreciation is $22,500

Deferred gain on intercompany sale is $3,750

The computation to yield the income (loss) from subsidiary reported by the parent company during 2019 is as follows:

ParticularsAmount ($)
Subsidiary net income$123,000
AAP Depreciation($22,500)
Deferred gain on intercompany sale($3,750)
Income (loss) from subsidiary$104,250

Table (1)

Hence, the income (loss) from subsidiary is $104,250.

An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

EOY retained earnings of subsidiary is $445,500

EOY Common stock of subsidiary is $450,000.

Calculate EOY Unamortized AAP assets:

ParticularsAmount ($)Dep./Amort.Amount
PPE, net$67,5003×$6,750=$20,250$47,250
Patent$90,0003×$11,250=$33,750$56,250

Goodwill$135,000 $135,000
EOY AAP assets$306,000__$22,500__$238,500__

The computation to yield the Equity Investment balance on Dec 31, 2019 is as follows:

ParticularsAmount ($)

EOY subsidiary retained earnings

$445,500
EOY subsidiary common stock$450,000
Add: Unamortized AAP @ EOY$238,500
Less: Unconfirmed gain @ EOY$15,000
EOY Equity investment balance$1,119,000

Table (1)

Hence, the equity investment balance as on Dec 31, 2019 is $1,119,000

Explanation of Solution

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity. They are the financial statements of a group in which the parent company and its subsidiaries introduce their assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows as those of a single business organization.

A consolidated balance sheet provides a parent company's assets and liabilities and all of its subsidiaries in a legal document, without any differentiation on which items pertain to which companies.

Consolidation worksheet is an instrument used to prepare a parent's consolidated financial statements and their subsidiaries. It demonstrates the individual book values of companies, the adjustments and eliminations necessary, and the consolidated final values.

The consolidated spreadsheet for the year ended December 31, 2019 is shown below:
