PROBLEM NO. 7
The Marilao Company has the following transactions in the stocks of the
Sta. Maria Corp.
a)

On January 2, 1999, Marilao purchased 4,000 shares of P100 par

value common stock at P110 per share.

b) The Sta. Maria Corp. was expanding and on March 2, 2000, it issued
stock rights to its stockholders. The holder needs four rights to
purchase one share of common stock at par. The market value of the
stock on that date was P140 per share. There was no quoted price for
the rights. No journal entry was made to record the receipt of the
rights.
c)

On April 2, 2000, Marilao exercised all its stock rights. The Investment
in Stock account was charged for the amount paid.

d) Robinson, Marilaos accountant, felt that the cash paid for the new
shares was merely an assessment since Marilaos proportionate share
in Sta. Maria was not changed. Hence, he credited all dividends (5% in
December of each year) to the Investment in Stock account until the
debit was fully offset.
e)

Marilao received a 50% stock dividend from Sta. Maria in December

2004. Because the shares received were expected to be sold, the
companys president instructed Robinson not to make any entry for
this dividend. The company did sell the dividend shares in January
2005 for P150 per share. The proceeds from the sale were credited to
income.

f)

In December 2005, Sta. Maria stocks were split on a two-for-one basis

and the new shares were issued as no par shares. Marilao found that
each new share was worth P10 more than the P110 per share original
acquisition cost.
For this reason, Marilao decided to debit the
Investment in Stock account with the additional shares received at
P110 per share and credited revenue for it.

118

g)

In August 2006, Marilao sold one half () of its holdings in Sta. Maria
at P120 per share. The proceeds were credited to the Investment in
Stock account.

Marilao uses the average method in recording the sale of its investment in
stock.

d. P870,000
Suggested Solution:
Question No. 1
Cost allocated to stock rights (P10*/P150 x P440,000)

P29,333

Since the MV of rights is not available we must compute for the

theoretical value of the stock rights. Since the market value of the stock
given is on the date of issuance of the stock rights, the market value is
considered ex-rights.
Theoretical value of stock rights = MV of stock ex-rights subs. price
Number of rights to purchase 1 share
= (P 140 - P100)/4
= P10*

Suggested Solution:
Question No. 1
Meycauayan, Inc. owns 10% (50,000/500,000) of AAA, Inc. stock; therefore,
the cost method is used and the dividend is computed as follows:

Dividends paid by AAA, Inc. in 2006

Multiply by % ownership
Income from investment in AAA, Inc. in 2006

P150,000
10%
P 15,000

Question No. 2
Meycauayan, Inc. owns 25% (125,000/500,000) of BBB Corp. stock;
therefore, the equity method is used to record the income earned.

Multiply by % ownership
Income from investment in BBB Corp. in 2005

P325,000
25%
P 81,250

Question No. 3
Investment in AAA, Inc. stock will be classified as available-for-sale securities
since the shares are held as long term investment and there is reliable fair
value. Therefore, the carrying value as of 12/31/06 is P325,000 (50,000

Additional information:

On April 1, 2006, ERAP issued 10% stock dividend when the market
price of its stock was P24 per share.
On September 15, 2006, ERAP paid cash dividend of P0.75 per share.

On August 30, 2006, GMA issued to all shareholders, stock rights on

the basis of one right per share. Market prices at date of issue were
P13.50 per share of stock and P1.50 per right. Obando sold all rights
on December 1, 2006 for net proceeds of P37,600.

On July 1, 2006, Obando paid P3,040,000 for 100,000 additional

shares of FVR Corp.s common stock which represented a 20%
investment in FVR. The fair value of all of FVRs identifiable assets net
of liabilities was equal to their carrying amount of P12,700,000. As a
result of this transaction, Obando owns 30% of FVR and can exercise
significant influence over FVRs operating and financial policies.

On June 1, 2005, Pandi Corporation purchased as a long term investment
4,000 of the P1,000 face value, 8% bonds of Violet Corporation. The bonds
were purchased to yield 10% interest. Interest is payable semi-annually on
December 1 and June 1. The bonds mature on June 1, 2011. Pandi uses
the effective interest method of amortization. On November 1, 2006, Pandi
sold the bonds for a total consideration of P3,925,000. Pandi intended to
hold these bonds until they matured, so year-to-year market fluctuations
