Question

Haynes, Inc., obtained 100 percent of Turner Company’s common stock on January 1, 2017, by issuing 10,400 shares of $10 par value common stock. Haynes’s shares had a $15 per share fair value. On that date, Turner reported a net book value of $117,000. However, its equipment (with a five-year remaining life) was undervalued by $7,100 in the company’s accounting records.

The customer list had an estimated remaining useful life of 10 years.

Explanation / Answer

            a.   An allocation of the acquisition price (based on the fair value of the shares Issued) must be made first.

Acquisition fair value (consideration paid by Haynes).              $156,000

Book value equivalency .......................................................              (117,000)

Excess of Turner fair value over book value ..................               $ 39,000

                  Excess fair value assigned to specific                                    Annual excess

                  accounts based on fair value                             Life                  amortizations

                        Equipment .............................   $7,100           5 yrs.                     $1,420

                        Customer List ......................... 31,900         10 yrs.                     3,190

                                                                                                                                    $4,610

                  Acquisition fair value.............................................................              $156,000

                  2017 Income accrual .............................................................                 186,000

                  2017 Dividends paid by Turner ..........................................                  (90,000)

                  2017 Amortizations (above) .................................................                    (4,610)

                  2018 Income accrual .............................................................                 204,150

                  2018 Dividends paid by Turner ..........................................                  (70,000)

                  2018 Amortizations ................................................................                    (4,610)

                  Investment in Turner account balance ............................              $220,930

b.   Net income of Haynes ..........................................................              $303,300

      Net Income of Turner ............................................................                 204,150

      Depreciation expense............................................................                    (1,420)

      Amortization expense............................................................                    (3,190)

            Consolidated net income 2018 .....................................              $502,840

c.   Equipment balance Haynes ................................................              $511,000

      Equipment balance Turner .................................................                 313,000

      Allocation based on fair value (above) .............................                     7,100

      Depreciation for 20172018 .................................................                    (2,840)

      Consolidated equipment—December 31, 2018..............              $828,260

     

      Parent's choice of an investment method has no impact on consolidated totals.

d.   If the initial value method was applied during 2017, the parent would have recorded dividend income of $90,000 rather than $186,000 (as equity income). Net income is, therefore, understated by $96,000. In addition, amortization expense of $4,610 was not recorded. Thus, the January 1, 2018, retained earnings is understated by $91,390 ($96,000 – $4,610). An Entry *C is necessary on the worksheet to correct this equity figure:

                  Investment in Turner .................................................             91,390

                        Retained Earnings, 1/1/18 (Haynes) ................                               91,390

If the partial equity method was applied during 2017, the parent would have failed to record amortization expense of $4,600. Retained earnings are overstated by $4,600 and are corrected through Entry *C:

                  Retained Earnings, 1/1/18 (Haynes) ......................               4,610

                        Investment in Turner ...........................................                                 4,610

If the equity method was applied during 2017, the parent's retained earnings are the same as the consolidated figure so that no adjustment is necessary.
