Excel Spreadsheet Project Alternative Investment Methods, Goodwill Impairment, and Consolidated Financial Statements In this project, you are to provide an analysis of alternative accounting methods for controlling interest investments and subsequent effects on consolidated reporting using Excel. Modeling in Excel helps you quickly assess the impact of alternative accounting methods on consolidated financial reporting, and helps you develop a better understanding of accounting for combined reporting entities Page 154 Consolidated Worksheet Preparation 4 You will be creating and entering formulas to complete four worksheets. The first objective is to demonstrate the effect of different methods of accounting for the investments (equity, initial value, and partial equity) on the parent company's trial balance and on the consolidated worksheet subsequent to acquisition. The second objective is to show the effect on consolidated balances and key financial ratios of recognizing a goodwill impairment loss. The project requires preparation of the following four separate worksheets: a. Consolidated information worksheet (follows). b. Equity method consolidation worksheet. c. Initial value method consolidation worksheet. d. Partial equity method consolidation worksheet. In formulating your solution, cach worksheet should link directly to the first worksheet. Also, feel free to create supplemental schedules to enhance the capabilities of your worksheet Project Scenario Pecos Company acquired 100 percent of Suaro's outstanding stock for $1,450,000 cash on January 1, 2020, when Suaro had the following balance sheet: Cash Receivables Inventory Land Equipment (net) Software Total assets Assets $ 37,000 Liabilities 82,000 149,000 Common stock 90,000 Retained earnings 225,000 315,000 $898,000 Total liabilities and equity Liabilities and Equity At the acquisition date, the fair values of each identifiable asset and liability that differed from book value were as follows: Land Brand name Software In-process R&D $ 80,000 60,000 (indefinite life-unrecognized on Suaro's books) 415.000 (2-year estimated remaining useful life) 300,000 $(422,000) (350,000) (126,000) S(898,000) Additional Information . . Although at acquisition date Pecos expected future benefits from Suaro's in-process research and development (R&D), by the end of 2020 it became clear that the research project was a failure with no future economic benefits. During 2020, Suaro earns $75,000 and pays no dividends. . Selected amounts from Pecos's and Suaro's separate financial statements at December 31, 2021, are presented in the consolidated information worksheet. All consolidated worksheets are to be prepared as of December 31, 2021, two years subsequent to acquisition. Pecos's January 1, 2021, Retained Earnings balance-before any effect from Suaro's 2020 income-is $(930,000) (credit balance). Pecos has 500,000 common shares outstanding for EPS calculations and reported $2.943,100 for consolidated assets at the beginning of the period.
