Exercise 9-5:Computing Carrying Value, Interest Revenue and Expense, Controlling and Noncontrolling Income

On January 2, 2014, Peoples, Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Schmidt Corporation for $900,000. Schmidt reported total stockholders' equity of $1,000,000 on this date. An examination of Schmidt's books revealed that book value was equal to fair value for all assets and liabilities except for inventory, which was undervalued by $60,000. All of the undervalued inventory was sold during 2014.

Peoples also purchased 30% of the $500,000 par value outstanding bonds of Schmidt Corporation for $140,000 on January 2, 2014. The bonds mature in 10 years, carry an 11% annual interest rate payable on June 30 and December 31, and had a carrying value of $505,000 on the date of purchase. Both companies use the straight- line method to amortize bond discounts and premiums.

Peoples reported net income of $300,000 for 2014 and paid dividends of $130,000 during 2014. Schmidt Corporation reported net income of $320,000 for 2011 and paid dividends of $90,000 during the year.
