On January 1, 2020, Corgan Company acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Smashing, Inc., for a total of $980,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Smashing had common stock of $700,000, retained earnings of $250,000, and a noncontrolling interest fair value of $245,000. Corgan attributed the excess of fair value over Smashing's book value to various covenants with a 20-year remaining life. Corgan uses the equity method to account for its investment in Smashing.

During the next two years, Smashing reported the following:

Net Income Dividends Declared Inventory Purchases from Corgan
2020 $ 150,000 $ 35,000 $ 100,000
2021 130,000 45,000 120,000

Corgan sells inventory to Smashing using a 60 percent markup on cost. At the end of 2020 and 2021, 40 percent of the current year purchases remain in Smashing's inventory.

  2. Prepare the worksheet adjustments for the December 31, 2021, consolidation of Corgan and Smashing.
