Case 2: Narda Corporation agreed to sell all of its capital stock to Effie Corporation for three monthly payments of $200,000. After Effie made the first required payment, it ceased making other payments. The stock subscription agreement states that Effie, thus, forfeits its payments and is entitled to no other future consideration. How should Narda record the $200,000 forfeited payment?

1. Read case 2, "Recording a forfeited payment" in the "Intermediate Accounting" section of the Cases in the Resources. This case deals with factors affecting minority interest control.
2. Examine relevant accounting standards to advise whether a minority investor can maintain control of a corporation or prevent others from exercising such control. You will use the Accounting Tax Codification and other relevant databases to locate U.S. GAAP authorities and follow the five steps of database research strategies. The resources listed in the first study of Unit 1 may be of use to you in completing this assignment.
3. Submit a brief report on case 2 in a Word document. Cite appropriate accounting standards to support your answers to the case scenario.
