Accounting for the Equity Investment When Price Exceeds Book Value Assume an investor purchases all of the stock of the investee in a stock purchase for $2,700. The investee's balance sheet on the date of purchase is as follows: Accounts receivable $225 Mortgage payable Inventories Building Total assets 450 1800 Stockholders' equity $225 2250 $2,475 Total liabilities and equity $2,475 In this example, the amount paid (i.e., $2,700) is $450 greater than the book value of the net assets of the investee (i.e., $2,250). Assume the additional $450 of purchase price relates to an unrecognized patent held by the investee that has a remaining useful life of 10 years on the acquisition date. We also assume, subsequent to the purchase, the investee reports net income of $450 and pays $135 in dividends to the investor. Required a. Provide the journal entry to recognize the Equity Income by the investor. b. Provide the journal entry to record the receipt of the dividend. c.
