a. All of the Equity Investments made by the investor in the investee must be revalued.
b. Any gains or losses as a result of the revaluation should be recognized currently in income.

2. Montrose Co. owns 80% of the voting common stock of Concord Corp. During 2014, Concord had
revenues of $3,600,000 and expenses of $3,000,000. The amortization of excess cost allocations
totaled $160,000 in 2014. The non-controlling interest's share of the earnings of Concord Corp.
should be?
a. $88,000
b. $120,000
c. $84,000
d. $80,000
e. $66,000

$3,600,000 – 3,000,000 – 160,000 = 440,000 * 20% = 88,000

On January 1, 2014, Woody Company acquires 80% of the outstanding common stock of Buzz, for a
purchase price of $785,000. It was determined that the fair market value of the noncontrolling interest in the
subsidiary is $190,000. The book value of the Buzz’s stockholders’ equity on the date of acquisition is
$500,000 and its fair market value of identifiable tangible and intangible assets is $900,000. The excess fair
market value over book value is allocated $200,000 to equipment with a remaining useful life of 10 years,
and $200,000 to a patent with a remaining useful life of 8 years.

3. The goodwill at the date of acquisition is:

a. $125,000
b. $80,000
c. $75,000
d. none of the above

$785,000 +190,000 = $975,000 FV of Buzz

Book value $500,000
Excess FV>BV $400,000
Goodwill = $75,000

4. Continuing with the Woody/Buzz acquisition above, assume that during the year ended December 31,
2014, Buzz reports net income of $210,000 and pays dividends of $21,000. Determine the
December 31, 2014 ending balance in Woody Company’s Investment in Buzz account.
 a. $151,200
b. $900,200
c. $929,000
d. $1,119,000

$785,000 + (201,000 * .8 = 168,000) – (21,000 *.8 = 16,800) - $200,000/10*.8=16,000) - $200,000 / 8 *.8 =

20,000 = $900,200

Assume that, on January 1, 2013, a P Company acquired an 80% interest in its subsidiary for a purchase
price that was $250,000 over the book value of the S Company’s Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition
date. The parent allocated the excess to the following [A] assets:

[A] Asset Initial Fair Value Useful Life (years)

PPE, net $ 50,000 10
Customer List 75,000 10
Goodwill 125,000 Indefinite
$250,000

5. Based on the given financial statements, the computation of the equity income of $92,248 reported by the
parent includes a deduction for:
a. $2,500 for excess attributable to depreciation and amortization
b. $10,000 for excess attributable to depreciation and amortization
c. $15,713 for 80% of dividends declared and paid by S Company
d. $104,748 for 80% of the net income of subsidiary

Depreciation of 50,000 + 75,000 / 10 years * 80% = 10,000

6. Assume the following facts relating to an 80% owned subsidiary company:

Beginning of the year Stockholders’ Equity $600,000

Beginning of the year excess over book value assets 50,000
Net income of subsidiary (not including FV excess over BV
asset depreciation and amortization) 125,000
Excess FV > BV assets depreciation and amortization expense 20,000
Dividends declared and paid to noncontrolling shareholders 2,500

What is the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year?
a. $20,000
b. $25,000
c. $26,000
d. $21,000
$125,000 – 20,000 = $105,000 * 20% = $21,000

7. McGuire Company acquired 90 percent of Hogan Company on January 1, 2010, for $234,000 cash. This
amount is reflective of Hogan's total fair value. Hogan's stockholders' equity consisted of common stock of
$160,000 and retained earnings of $80,000. An analysis of Hogan's net assets revealed the following:

   
Any excess consideration transferred over fair value is attributable to an unamortized patent with a useful life
of 5 years.

In consolidation at December 31, 2010, what adjustment is necessary for Hogan's Equipment account? 

A. $3,000 increase.
B. $3,000 decrease.
C. $2,700 increase.
D. $2,700 decrease.
E.  No adjustment is necessary.

Reflects that one year of amortization of the $4,000 excess FV>BV is expensed.
8. Pell Company acquires 80% of Demers Company for $500,000 on January 1, 2010. Demers reported
common stock of $300,000 and retained earnings of $210,000 on that date. Equipment was undervalued by
$30,000 and buildings were undervalued by $40,000, each having a 10-year remaining life. Any excess
consideration transferred over fair value was attributed to goodwill with an indefinite life. Based on an
annual review, goodwill has not been impaired.
Demers earns income and pays dividends as follows:

   

Assume the equity method is applied.

Compute the non-controlling interest in Demers at December 31, 2010. 

A.  $135,600.
B.  $137,000.
C.  $112,000.
D.  $100,000.
E.  $118,600.
Implied FV 500k / .8 = $625k so 20% = $125,000
Add: share of net income 100,000 – 7,000 = 93,000 * .20 = 18,600
Less: share of dividends (8,000)
= $135,600

9. Using the data above, compute the non-controlling interest in Demers at December 31, 2012. 

A.  $107,800.
B.  $140,000.
C.  $165,200.
D.  $160,800.
E.  $146,800.

Implied FV 500k / .8 = $625k so 20% = $125,000

Add: share of net income 350,000 – 21,000 = 319,000 * .20 = 65,800
Less: share of dividends (30,000)
= $160,800

10. P, L, and O are partners with capital balances of $50,000, $30,000 and $20,000 and who share in the
profit and loss of the PLO partnership 30%, 20%, and 50%, respectively, when they agree to admit C for a
20% interest.

C contributes $38,000 to the partnership and the bonus method is used. What amount will be credited for C's
beginning capital balance? 

A. $20,000
B. $25,000
C. $27,600
D. $32,600
E.  $38,000
20% interest in $50,000 + $30,000 + $20,000 plus cash of $38,000 = $27,600
11. P, L, and O are partners with capital balances of $50,000, $30,000 and $20,000 and who share in the
profit and loss of the PLO partnership 30%, 20%, and 50%, respectively, when they agree to admit C for a
20% interest.

C contributes $40,000 to the partnership and the goodwill method is used, what amount will be debited for
goodwill? 

A. $15,000
B. $20,000
C. $25,000
D. $28,000
E. $60,000
Since $40,000 is > 20% of partnership assets, presumed to be bringing in goodwill.
$40,000 + GW = .20 (100,000 + 40,000)
$40,000 = $20,000 + 8,000 + .20GW
$12,000 = .2 GW
GW = $60,000

12. Peter, Roberts, and Dana have the following capital balances; $80,000, $100,000 and $60,000,
respectively. The partners share profits and losses 20%, 40%, and 40% respectively.

Roberts retires and is paid $160,000 based on an independent appraisal of the business. If the goodwill
method is used, what is the capital balance of Dana? 

A.  $20,000.
B.  $60,000.
C.  $110,000.
D.  $120,000.
E.  $230,000.
Roberts receives an additional $60,000 above her capital balance. Since she is assigned 40 percent of all
profits and losses, this extra allocation indicates total goodwill of $150,000, which must be split among
all partners.
40% of Goodwill = $60,000
.40 G = $60,000
G = $150,000 and Dana receives 40% = $60,000.
Dana's balance = $60,000 + $60,000 = $120,000.

13. Donald, Anne, and Todd have the following capital balances; $40,000, $50,000 and $30,000
respectively. The partners share profits and losses 20%, 40%, and 40% respectively.

What is the total partnership capital after Anne retires receiving $80,000 and using the bonus method? 

A.  $70,000.
B.  $40,000.
C.  $60,000.
D.  $80,000.
E.  $42,000.

$120,000 - $80,000 cash = $40,000
