Scenic View Winery Case You have just come back from your meeting with Hector and Sophia Perez, owners of Scenic View Winery, and are organizing your notes. As the new accountant for the winery, the meeting was to bring you up to speed with the company's history, organization structure and upcoming eventsfchallenges. Scenic View Winery is a family owned and run winery that has been in operation since the 1950's when Hector's parents moved into the Okanogan Valley and purchased their rst grape orchard. Over the years, the winery has been successful in developing its special brands of chardonnay and ice wines which are marketed in Canada and around the world. In the past number of years, the demand for wine has grown as young adult consumers have begun to discover the heaith benefits of moderate wine consumption. As a result of this, Scenic View Winery made the choice in January 2014 to expand its operations by purchasing a T595 controlling interest in another family run winery called Setting Sun Vineyards. Setting Sun Vineyards is located in the Niagara region and is known for its premium merlot. Scenic View makes annual purchases of this wine to sell it in its own winery that each year sees thousands of visitors from around the worid as they vacation in the picturesque Ulcanogan Valley. With the political situation changing in the United States and the speculation of increased cross border tariffs, Scenic View wanted to nd an American winery that could be used as a distribution center for its wines to the American consumer. It was important to Hector and Sophia to nd a winery that shared the same family values and commitment to high quality wine as they possessed. Aiter some searching, Hector found another family run winery located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon state called Redford Family Vineyards. Although a smail operation, the Redford Family Vineyard had a reputation of excellence and had an elite pinot noir wine that had won a national award. Bmce and Aiice Redford were the sole owners of Redford Family Vineyard and were at the stage of life where they wanted to retire, but none of their children were interested in carrying on the winery. They were open to selling, but stiil wanted to keep an interest in the winery as a means to supplement their retirement savings. After several meetings to discuss specics, an arrangement was agreed to that would be benecial to both parties and subsequently, Scenic View acquired a 90% interest in Redford Familry Vineyards as of January 1, 201?. 10. Due to the strength of the US currency. it was cheaper to buy winery supplies from Canada. Thus, early in 201?, Hector switched RFV's supplier of wine bottles for its local wine production trom an American supplier to the same Canadian supplier used by Scenic View. 11. RFV's sales market primarily includes the United Statesr with some sales to Europe and Australia. The selling prices for Scenic View's brand of wines is set by Scenic View. Selling prices for the RFV brands are nowr jointly determined by Hector and RFV's operations manager. 12. By November 201?, Hector was satised with how the transition had gone. The RFV winery was running smoothly and sales had increased signicantly from the prior year. Consequently, RF'l.r declared a modest dividend of US$T5,EIOU on December 1, 201?. 13. Relevant exchange rates are as follows: Date Exchange Rate January 1, 201?

Redford Family Vineyards {RFV} became a 90% owned subsidiary of Scenic 'view Winery (Scenic View) as of January 1, 2017. The other 10% is held by the Bruce and Alice Redford to assist in their retirement. Purchase price was US$2,500,000. At the time of purchase, all of the assets had a fair value equal to their book values with the exception of the following: Asset Fair Value PPE US$ 350,000 Land US$ 1,250,000 Patent US$ 500,000 Property, Plant and Equipment for RFV had a remaining useful life of 8 years as of January 1, 201?. The Patent's useful life is expected to be 10 years. RFV uses straight line depreciation for its PPE, and takes a full year's depreciation in the year of acquisition. During 2017, Hector made frequent trips to Oregon to transition the winery operation from Bruce Redford to Scenic View. Hector rst started by hiring an operations manager. Time was then spent training the manager, and existing RFV staff, in Scenic View's product line and processes. As a result, Scenic View charged RFV US$195,000 in the way of a management fee to compensate for his time. RFV still owes US$25,000 to Scenic View at year end. When Hector was considering purchasing RFV, he was aware that much of the equipment would need to be upgraded. Thus, on April 1, 201?, Scenic View loaned US$600,000 to RSV to purchase new equipment, and retire RFV's long term debt. Interest expense on RFV's income statement contains US$15,0-00 of interest paid to Scenic View on the loan. RFV purchased new equipment on April 30, 2017 with an estimated useful life of 12 years for US$930,000. In early summer, RFV found a buyer for some of the old equipment. The actual sale took place on June 1, where RF'v' received US$60,000 for equipment that had a cost of US$436,000, and a net book value of US$BT,200. Scenic View was anxious to get their product to the American consumer. During 1201?, Scenic View sold US$2,200,000 of their wine to RFV to sell in the United States. Of this, US$425,000 is still being held in RFV's inventory at the year end. Scenic View sells to RFV at a 30% gross prot percentage. The inventory was purchase evenly throughout the year. RFV's ending inventory was purchased when the exchange rate was U51 =1 .28 RFV is staffed with employees who live in the Willamette Valley, consequently, with the exception of the management fee paid to Scenic View, the labour is paid for in US dollars
