Accounting for Equity Investments Assignment Solved Solution Sample

QUESTION

Assessment 1: Accounting for Equity Investments
Exercise 1 Worksheet: Journal Entries
On January 1, 2015, the Parker Corporation acquired 10% of Simon Inc. for $420,000, even though Simon’s book value on January 1 was $3,400,000. Simon held land on its books that was undervalued by $200,000. In 2015, Simon earned $480,000 in net income and paid cash dividends of $180,000. Parker acquired an additional 30% of Simon January 1, 2016, for $1,200,000. Simon’s land remained undervalued as of that date by $240,000. Any excess cost was ascribed to a trademark with a life of 10 years for the first acquisition and a life of nine years for the second acquisition. Because fair values were not readily available, Parker maintained the initial investment of 10% at cost. The equity method will now be applied. In 2016, Simon reported $600,000 in income and $220,000 of distributed dividends.

Exercise 2 Worksheet: Consolidated Balance Sheet
On December 31, 2015, the Penn Corporation purchased all of Southern Company’s outstanding shares for $990,000 in cash. Penn will operate Southern as a wholly-owned subsidiary that has a separate legal and accounting identity. Many of Southern’s book values approximate fair values, but the fair values of some accounts differ from the book values. Additionally, Southern is carrying unrecorded, internally developed assets on its books. In determining the purchase price, Penn evaluated the differences between Southern’s fair values and its book values, as shown in the table below.
