Problem II
Harper acquires 40 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Kinman Company on January 1,
2014, for $210,000 in cash. The book value of Kinman's net assets on that date was $400,000,
although one of the company's buildings, with a $60,000 carrying amount, was actually worth
$100,000. This building had a 10-year remaining life. Kinman owned a royalty agreement with a
20-year remaining life that was undervalued by $85,000.
Kinman sold inventory with an original cost of $60,000 to Harper during 2014 at a price of
$90,000. Harper still held $15,000 (transfer price) of this amount in inventory as of December
31, 2014. These goods are to be sold to outside parties during 2015.
Kinman reported a $40,000 net loss and a $20,000 other comprehensive loss for 2014. The
company still manages to declare and pay a $10,000 cash dividend during the year.
During 2015, Kinman reported a $40,000 net income and declared and paid a cash dividend of
$12,000. It made additional inventory sales of $80,000 to Harper during the period. The original
cost of the merchandise was $50,000. All but 30 percent of this inventory had been resold to
outside parties by the end of the 2015 fiscal year.
Prepare all journal entries for Harper for 2014 and 2015 in connection with this investment.
Assume that the equity method is applied.

Problem III
Following are pre-acquisition financial balances for Padre Company and Sol Company as of
December 31. Also included are fair values for Sol Company accounts.
On December 31, Padre acquires Sol's outstanding stock by paying $360,000 in cash and issuing
10,000 shares of its own common stock with a fair value of $40 per share. Padre paid legal and
accounting fees of $20,000 as well as $5,000 in stock issuance costs.
Determine the value that would be shown in Padre's consolidated financial statements for each of
the accounts listed.
Problem IV
Francisco Inc. acquired 100 percent of the voting shares of Beltran Company on January 1, 2014.
In exchange, Francisco paid $450,000 in cash and issued 104,000 shares of its own $1 par value
common stock. On this date, Francisco's stock had a fair value of $12 per share. The combination
is a statutory merger with Beltran subsequently dissolved as a legal corporation. Beltran's assets
and liabilities are assigned to a new reporting unit.
The following reports the fair values for the Beltran reporting unit for January 1, 2014, and
December 31, 2015, along with their respective book values on December 31, 2015.
a. Prepare Francisco's journal entry to record the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed
in the Beltran merger on January 1, 2014.
In accounting for the combination, the total fair value of Beltran (consideration
transferred) is allocated to each identifiable asset acquired and liability
assumed with any remaining excess as goodwill.

b. On December 31, 2015, Francisco opts to forego any goodwill impairment qualitative
assessment and estimates that the total fair value of the entire Beltran reporting unit is
$1,425,000. What amount of goodwill impairment, if any, should Francisco recognize on
its 2015 income statement?
Step one in goodwill impairment test:
Fair value of reporting unit as a whole
Book value of reporting unit's net assets
1,425,000
1,585,000
Because the total fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value,
a potential goodwill impairment loss exists, step two is performed:
Fair value of reporting unit as a whole
$1,425,000
Fair values of reporting unit's net assets (excluding goodwill) 1,325,000
Implied fair value of goodwill
100,000
Book value of goodwill

Goodwill impairment loss

Problem V
On January 3, 2013, Persoff Corporation acquired all of the outstanding voting stock of Sea
Cliff, Inc. in exchange for $6,000,000 in cash. Persoff elected to exercise control over Sea Cliff
as a wholly owned subsidiary with an independent accounting system. Both companies have
December 31 fiscal year-ends. At the acquisition date, Sea Cliff's stockholders' equity was
$2,500,000 including retained earnings of $1,700,000. Persoff pursued the acquisition, in part, to
utilize Sea Cliff's technology and computer software. These items had fair values that differed
from their values on Sea Cliff's books as follows:
Sea Cliff's remaining identifiable assets and liabilities had acquisition-date book values that
closely approximated fair values. Since acquisition, no assets have been impaired. During the
next three years, Sea Cliff reported the following income and dividends:
December 31, 2015, financial statements for each company appear on the following page.
Parentheses indicate credit balances. Dividends declared were paid in the same period.
Required:
Prepare a worksheet to determine the consolidated values to be reported on Persoff's financial
statements.
