PROBLEM 2-2 Merger and Consolidation, Goodwill Impairment LO 3 L06 Stockholders of Acme Company, Baltic Company, and Colt Company are considering alternative arrangements for a business combination. Balance sheets and the fair values of each company's assets on October 1, 2019, were as follows: Acme Baltic Colt Assets $3,900,000 $7,500,000 $ 950,000 Liabilities $2.030,000 $2,200,000 $ 260,000 Common stock, $20 par value 2,000,000 1,800,000 540,000 Other contributed capital 600,000 190,000 Retained earnings (deficit) (130,000) 2.900,000 (40,000) Total equities $3,900,000 $7,500,000 $ 950,000 Fair values of assets $4,200,000 $9,000,000 $1,300,000 Acme Company shares have a fair value of $50. A fair (market) price is not available for shares of the other companies because they are closely held. Fair values of liabilities equal book values. Required: A. Prepare a balance sheet for the business combination. Assume the following: Acme Company acquires all the assets and assumes all the liabilities of Baltic and Colt Companies Chapter 2 Accounting for Business Combinations by issuing in exchange 140,000 shares of its common stock to Baltic Company and 40,000 shares of its common stock to Colt Company. B. Assume, further, that the acquisition was consummated on October 1, 2019, as described above. However, by the end of 2020, Acme was concerned that the fair values of one or both of the acquired units had deteriorated. To test for impairment, Acme decided to measure goodwill impairment using the present value of future cash flows to estimate the fair value of the reporting units (Baltic and Colt). Acme accumulated the following data: Carrying Value of Year Present Value Identifiable Identifiable 2015 of Future Cash Flows Net Assets Net Assets Baltic $6,500,000 $6,340,000 $6,350,000 Colt $1,900,000 1,200,000 1,000,000 *Identifiable Net Assets do not include goodwill. Prepare the journal entry, if needed, to record goodwill impairment at December 31, 2020. Use FASB's simplified approach to test for goodwill impairment (assume that the qualitative test is satisfied or bypassed). Fair Value
