1. Assuming that DeSpain Company paid $440,000 on January 1, 2014 to purchase Lawrence Corporation and DeSpain chose to use the Initial Value Method to account for Lawrence Corporation, the Investment Balance on DeSpains Balance Sheet would have been $440,000 at December 31, 2014. Using this assumption, prepare consolidation entries at December 31, 2014 (all necessary entries).

2. Using the assumptions from requirement 3, prepare the *C entry that would be required for the December 31, 2015 Consolidation of DeSpain Company and Lawrence Corporation.
