Errant Inc. purchased 100% of the outstanding voting shares of Grub Inc. for $200,000 on January 1, 2018. On that date, Grub Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $100,000 and $60,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Grub’s fair market values on the date of acquisition are disclosed below:

Errant Inc. Grub Inc. Grub Inc.
(carrying value) (carrying value) (fair value)
Cash $120,000 $76,000 $76,000
Accounts Receivable $ 80,000 $40,000 $40,000
Inventory $ 60,000 $34,000 $50,000
Equipment (net) $400,000 $80,000 $70,000
Trademark $70,000 $84,000
Total Assets $660,000 $300,000

Common Shares $ 90,000 $100,000
Retained Earnings $ 70,000 $ 60,000
Total Liabilities and Equity $660,000 $300,000

The net incomes for Errant and Grub for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $160,000 and $90,000 respectively. Grub paid $9,000 in dividends to Errant during the year. There were no other inter-company transactions during the year. Moreover, an impairment test conducted on December 31, 2018 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value of $20,000. Both companies use a FIFO system, and most of Grub’s inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Errant did not declare any dividends during the year.

50. Davis Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. on January 1, 2015, when Martin’s common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000 respectively. On that date, Martin’s book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company’s inventories and a Patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin’s Inventories on January 1, 2015 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value.
 
It was predicted that Martin’s goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2016, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition being recorded. During 2015, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin’s 2016 net income and dividends were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets.

Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following:

Required:

a) Prepare Davis’ Equity Method journal entries for 2015 and 2016.
b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2016:

i. Investment in Martin Inc.
ii. Goodwill
iii. The amount of unamortized acquisition differential.

52. Linton Inc. purchased 75% of Marsh Inc. on January 1, 2015 for $1,000,000. Marsh’s common shares and retained earnings were worth $400,000 each on that date. The acquisition differential was allocated as follows:
 

Trademark $15,000 (which had not been previously recorded)
Inventory $8,000 (fair value in excess of book value)

The balance was allocated to goodwill. The trademark had an estimated remaining useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition. Marsh Inc. uses straight line amortization.
In 2015, Marsh’s net income was $40,000. Marsh paid $5,000 in dividends to shareholders on record as at December 31, 2015. In 2016, Marsh reported a net income of $8,000 and declared $1,000 in dividends.

Required:
a) Prepare the equity method journal entries for Linton for 2015 and 2016.
b) Calculate the value of Marsh’s trademark as at December 31, 2016.
c) Prepare a statement that shows the changes in Linton’s non-controlling interest in 2016. 
 




 

53. Selectron Inc. acquired 60% of Insor Inc. on January 1, 2016 for $180,000, when Insor’s Common Shares and Retained Earnings were worth $60,000 and $180,000 respectively. Insor’s fair values approximated their book values on that date. Selectron currently uses the Equity Method to account for its investment in Insor.
 

During 2016, investment Income in the amount of $12,000 and Dividends in the amount of $1,200 were recorded in Selectron’s investment in Insor account. During 2017, investment income in the amount of $24,000 and Dividends in the amount of $2,400 were recorded in Selectron’s investment in Insor account. Typically, Insor declares dividends in the amount of 10% of its earnings.

Required:

a) Compute Insor’s net income for 2016 and 2017.
b) Compute the amount of dividends declared by Insor in each year.
c) Compute the balance in the non-controlling interest count as at December 31, 2017. 
 




 

54. Brand X Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Brand Y Inc. on January 1, 2017. On that date, Brand Y Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $180,000 and $20,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At the date of acquisition, Brand Y’s assets and liabilities were assessed for fair value as follows:
 

Inventory $5,000 less than book value
Equipment $30,000 less than book value
Patent $24,000 greater than fair value
Bonds Payable $5,000 less than book value

65. Assume that Stanton’s Equipment, Land and Trademark on the date of acquisition form part of a single asset group. Assume also that these assets are expected to generate future cash flows of $40,000. Does this mean that Stanton will have to recognize an impairment loss? Explain. 
 




 

66. Assume that Stanton had other Intangible assets with indefinite lives on its books at the date of acquisition. How would the impairment test differ from that which would apply to its amortizable assets, if at all? A simple explanation is required. Please do not use any numbers to support your answer. 
 




 

67. Assume that Stanton Inc.’s common shares had a fair market value of $51,000 on December 31, 2015. Assume also that the fair values of Stanton’s identifiable net assets amounted to $36,000. Assuming that Rembrandt’s fair values equaled its book values on the date of acquisition, has the consolidated Goodwill calculated above been impaired, and if so, by how much?

50. Davis Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. on January 1, 2015, when Martin’s common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000 respectively. On that date, Martin’s book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company’s inventories and a Patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin’s Inventories on January 1, 2015 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value.
 
It was predicted that Martin’s goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2016, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition being recorded. During 2015, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin’s 2016 net income and dividends were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets.

Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following:

Required:

a) Prepare Davis’ Equity Method journal entries for 2015 and 2016.
b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2016:

i. Investment in Martin Inc.
ii. Goodwill
iii. The amount of unamortized acquisition differential.

53. Selectron Inc. acquired 60% of Insor Inc. on January 1, 2016 for $180,000, when Insor’s Common Shares and Retained Earnings were worth $60,000 and $180,000 respectively. Insor’s fair values approximated their book values on that date. Selectron currently uses the Equity Method to account for its investment in Insor.
 

During 2016, investment Income in the amount of $12,000 and Dividends in the amount of $1,200 were recorded in Selectron’s investment in Insor account. During 2017, investment income in the amount of $24,000 and Dividends in the amount of $2,400 were recorded in Selectron’s investment in Insor account. Typically, Insor declares dividends in the amount of 10% of its earnings.

Required:

a) Compute Insor’s net income for 2016 and 2017.
b) Compute the amount of dividends declared by Insor in each year.
c) Compute the balance in the non-controlling interest count as at December 31, 2017. 
 

a) Insor’s Net Income for 2016 and 2017 had to be $20,000 and $40,000 respectively.
Insor’s Net Income for 2016 is calculated as follows:
2016 Net Income flowing through investment account = $12,000;
$12,000/60% = $20,000
Insor’s 2017 net income would be calculated in the same manner, and would be $40,000.

b) Dividends, 2016 = $20,000 x 10 % = $2,000 (or $1,200/60%) Dividends, 2017 = $4,000.

c) Non-Controlling Interest:

Fair value of Insor at date of acquisition: $300,000
Add: 2016 Net Income $20,000
Less: 2016 Dividends ($2,000)
Add: 2017 Net Income $40,000
Less: 2017 Dividends ($4,000)
Book value of Insor, December 31, 2017 $354,000
Non-Controlling Interest (40%) $141,600

54. Brand X Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Brand Y Inc. on January 1, 2017. On that date, Brand Y Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $180,000 and $20,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At the date of acquisition, Brand Y’s assets and liabilities were assessed for fair value as follows:
 

Inventory $5,000 less than book value
Equipment $30,000 less than book value
Patent $24,000 greater than fair value

Total Liabilities and Equity $948,000 $300,000

The net incomes for Brand X and Brand Y for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1,000 and $50,000 respectively. An impairment test conducted on December 31, 2017 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value $2,000 lower than the amount calculated on the date of acquisition. Both companies use a FIFO system, and Brand Y’s inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Brand X did not declare any dividends during the year. However, Brand Y paid $51,000 in dividends to make up for several years in which the company had never paid any dividends. Brand Y’s equipment and patent have useful lives of 10 years and 6 years respectively from the date of acquisition. All bonds payable mature on January 1, 2022.

Remburn Inc. Inc. purchased 90% of the outstanding voting shares of Stanton Inc. for $90,000 on January 1, 2015. On that date, Stanton Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $30,000 and $20,000, respectively. The equipment had a remaining useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition. Stanton’s trademark is estimated to have a remaining life of 5 years from the date of acquisition. Stanton’s bonds mature on January 1, 2035. The inventory was sold in the year following the acquisition. Both companies use straight line amortization, and no salvage value is assumed for assets. Remburn Inc. and Stanton Inc. declared and paid $12,000 and $4,000 in dividends, respectively during the year.

The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Stanton’s fair values on the date of acquisition are shown below:

Both companies use a FIFO system, and Stanton’s entire inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the following year. During 2015, Stanton Inc. borrowed $20,000 in cash from Remburn Inc. interest free to finance its operations. Remburn uses the Cost Method to account for its investment in Stanton Inc. Moreover, Stanton sold all of its land during the year for $18,000. Goodwill impairment for 2015 was determined to be $7,000. Remburn has chosen to value the non-controlling interest in Stanton on the acquisition date at the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (parent company extension method).

65. Assume that Stanton’s Equipment, Land and Trademark on the date of acquisition form part of a single asset group. Assume also that these assets are expected to generate future cash flows of $40,000. Does this mean that Stanton will have to recognize an impairment loss? Explain. 
 

Not necessarily. Given the above information, Stanton has “failed” the first part of the required two-part impairment test required for long-lived assets since the expected future cash flows of this asset group of $40,000 falls well short of the carrying values of the assets within the group, which total $55,000. Given this information, the second part of the two-part impairment test must be applied.

The second part of the impairment test requires that an impairment loss be recognized if Stanton fails the first part of the impairment test and the fair values of the assets within the group are less than their total carrying values. However, since the fair values of the assets are higher than their carrying values ($65,000 vs. $55,000 respectively), there would be no impairment loss in this case.

66. Assume that Stanton had other Intangible assets with indefinite lives on its books at the date of acquisition. How would the impairment test differ from that which would apply to its amortizable assets, if at all? A simple explanation is required. Please do not use any numbers to support your answer. 
 

Only the second part of the two-part impairment test would be required. Thus, an impairment loss would have to be recognized only if the fair value of the relevant asset group were less than their carrying values.

67. Assume that Stanton Inc.’s common shares had a fair market value of $51,000 on December 31, 2015. Assume also that the fair values of Stanton’s identifiable net assets amounted to $36,000. Assuming that Rembrandt’s fair values equaled its book values on the date of acquisition, has the consolidated Goodwill calculated above been impaired, and if so, by how much? 
 

Yes, goodwill has been impaired. Stanton’s net assets had a carrying value of $81,000, $30,000 more than their fair values, which indicates that the second part of the two step impairment test for goodwill must be performed. This is essentially a recalculation of the consolidated goodwill, which in this case would amount to $15,000 ($51,000 – $36,000). Since consolidated goodwill is currently $20,000, an impairment loss of $5,000 will have to be recognized.
