(1).Herbert, Inc., acquired all of Rambis Company’s outstanding stock on January 1, 2012, for $574,000 in cash. Annual excess amortization of $12,000 results from this transaction. On the date of the takeover, Herbert reported retained earnings of $400,000, and Rambis reported a $200,000 balance. Herbert reported internal income of $40,000 in 2012 and $50,000 in 2013 and paid $10,000 in dividends each year. Rambis reported net income of $20,000 in 2012 and $30,000 in 2013 and paid $5,000 in dividends each year.

(2)The Krause Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Leahy, Inc., for $6.30 per share on January 1, 2012. The remaining 20 percent of Leahy’s shares also traded actively at $6.30 per share before and after Krause’s acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Leahy’s underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year life was undervalued by $45,000 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $60,000 fair value

At the acquisition date, Leahy reported common stock of $100,000 and retained earnings balance of $280,000.

(4)Placid Lake Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2012, when Scenic had a net book value of $400,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $5,000 per year.

Placid Lake’s 2013 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $300,000. Scenic reported net income of $110,000.

Placid Lake distributed $100,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $40,000. At the end of 2013, selected figures from the two companies’ balance sheets were as follows:

Placid Lake                Scenic

Inventory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . $140,000                   $ 90,000

Land. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . 600,000                    200,000

Equipment (net) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 400,000                    300,000

During 2012, intra-entity sales of $90,000 (original cost of $54,000) were made. Only

20 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2012. In

2013, $120,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $66,000. Of this merchandise, 30 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.

Each of the following questions should be considered as an independent situation for the year 2013.

a. What is consolidated net income for Placid Lake and its subsidiary?

b. If the intra-entity sales were upstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and non-controlling interest?

c. If the intra-entity sales were downstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and non-controlling interest?

d. What is the consolidated balance in the ending Inventory account?

e. Assume that no intra-entity inventory sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, in 2012, Scenic sold land costing $30,000 to Placid Lake for $50,000. On the 2013 consolidated balance sheet, what value should be reported for land?

f. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic.

Instead, on January 1, 2012, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $100,000 but had a $60,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $80,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2013, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer? For 2013, what is the non-controlling interest’s share of Scenic’s net income?
