Assignment: Consolidation Question

PAPA Inc. purchased 85% of the voting shares of SMALL Inc for $1,000,000 cash on January 1, 2023; in addition, the purchase agreement also included a contingent consideration payable in cash on January 1, 2029. Assume that since the acquisition date management believes that $200,000 (added to consideration) is the contingent consideration likely to become payable on January 1, 20X9 (ignore time value of money). PAPA uses the cost method to account for its investment. On that date, SMALLs Common Stock and Retained Earnings were valued at $300,000 and $500,000 respectively.

SMALLs fair values approximated its carrying values with the following exceptions:

• The equipment had a fair value which was $120,000 higher than its carrying value, and was estimated to have a remaining useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition with no salvage value.
• SMALLs inventory had a fair value which was $15,000 less than book value. This inventory was sold by SMALL in 20X3.
• SMALLs skilled workforce had an exceptional reputation in the industry. Experts believed that the reputation of the work force should be valued at $225,000. Not included, is not an identifiable asset

Both companies use straight line amortization exclusively for all assets and liabilities. The effective tax rate for both companies is 40%.
