Cardinal Company acquires an 80% interest in Huron Company common stock for $420,000 cash on January 1, 2015. At that time, Huron Company has the following balance sheet:
Assets Liabilities and Equity
Current Assets | $60,000 | Accounts Payable | $60,000 |
Land | $100,000 | Common Stock ($5 par) | $50,000 |
Equipment | $350,000 | Paid-in capital in Excess of Par | $100,000 |
Accumulated Depreciation | ($150,000) | Retained Earnings | $150,000 |
Total Assets | $360,000 | Total Liabilities and Equity | $360,000 |
Appraisals indicate that accounts are fairly stated except for the equipment, which has a fair value of $240,000 and a remaining life of five years. Any remaining excess is goodwill.
Huron Company experiences the following changes in retained earnings during 2015 and 2016:
Retained Earnings, January 1, 2015 $150,000
Net Income, 2015 $50,000
Dividends Paid in 2015 (10,000) 40,000
Balance, December 31, 2015 $190,000
Net Income, 2016 $45,000
Dividends paid in 2016 (10,000) $35,000
Balance, December 31, 2016 $225,000
Prepare a determination and distribution of excess schedule for the investment in Huron Company (a value analysis is not needed). Prepare journal entries that Cardinal Company would make on its books to record income earned and/or dividends received on its investment in Huron Company during 2015 and 2016 under the following methods: simple equity, sophisticated equity, and cost.
Determination and distribution of excess schedule | Company implied price | parent price at 80% | nci at 20% | |
Company paid | 525000 | 420,000 | 105,000 | |
common stock | 50,000 | |||
paid in capital | 100,000 | |||
retained earnings | 150,000 | |||
total se | 300,000 | |||
interest acquired | 100% | 80% | 20% | |
bv | 300,000 | 240,000 | 60,000 | |
fv over bv | 225,000 | 180,000 | 45,000 | |
adjustments of identifiable accounts | adjustment | worksheet key | life | amortization per year |
Equipment | 40,000 | d1 | 5 | 8000 |
goodwill | 185,000 | d2 | ||
total | 225,000 |
Question: How did they solve the adjustments for goodwill equals to 185,000 and amortization equals to 40,000?
Because in my notes it states that adjustment is equal to fair value minus book value.
FV of Equipment = 240,00 and BV = 350,000.
240,000 - 350,000 does not equal to 40,000.
Also where is the 185,000 in GW coming from? When I did the value analysis schedule, it was not even close to 185,000.
