Problem 09-01 (LO1)

Pharma Company (Pharma) is a pharmaceutical company operating in Winnipeg. It is developing a new drug for treating multiple sclerosis (MS). On January 1, Year 3, Benefit Ltd. (Benefit) signed an agreement to guarantee the debt of Pharma and guarantee a specified rate of return to the common shareholders. In return, Benefit will obtain the residual profits of Pharma. After extensive analysis, it has been determined that Pharma is a controlled special-purpose entity and Benefit is its sponsor.

The balance sheets (in millions) of Benefit and Pharma on January 1, Year 3, were as follows:

	Benefit			Pharma
	Carrying Amount			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Current assets	$	295		$	80		$	80
Property, plant, and equipment		460			110			120
Intangible assets		65			35			85
	$	820		$	225		$	285
Current liabilities	$	175		$	90		$	90
Long-term debt		385			150			155
Common shares		25			1
Retained earnings		235			(16)
	$	820		$	225

An independent appraiser determined the fair values of Pharmas non-current assets. The appraiser was quite confident of the appraised value for the property, plant, and equipment but had some reservations in putting a specific value on the intangible assets.
