Question:
Shelby Corporation purchases 90% of the outstanding stock of Borner Company on January 1, 2015, for $603,000 cash. At that time, Borner Company has the following stockholders’ equity balances: common stock, $200,000; paid-in capital in excess of par, $80,000; and retained earnings, $300,000.
All book values approximate fair values except for the plant assets (undervalued by $50,000 and with an estimated remaining life of 10 years). Any remaining excess is goodwill.
DeNoma Company acquires a 60% interest in Shelby on January 1, 2017, for $750,000. At this time, Shelby has consolidated shareholders’ equity of common stock, $500,000; paid-in capital in excess of par, $150,000; and controlling retained earnings, $500,000 (not including amortization of excess price applicable to investment in Borner).
At that time, it is also determined that Shelby’s plant assets are undervalued by $50,000 and have a 10-year remaining life. Any remaining excess is goodwill.
Intercompany merchandise sales from Borner to Shelby for 2018 are (1) seller’s goods in buyer’s beginning inventory, $7,500; (2) sales during 2018, $125,000; (3) seller’s goods in buyer’s ending inventory, $10,000; and (4) gross profit on intercompany sales, 80%.
On January 1, 2017, Shelby sells plant assets with a cost of $80,000 and accumulated depreciation of $45,000 to DeNoma for $50,000. Remaining life on the date of sale is estimated to be five years.
