Question

Pure Company purchased 70% of the ordinary shares of Gold Company on January 1, Year 6, for $488,300 when the latter company’s accumulated depreciation, ordinary shares, and retained earnings were $78,400, $500,000 and $44,600, respectively. Noncontrolling interest was valued at $203,900 by an independent business valuator at the date of acquisition. On this date, an appraisal of the assets of Gold disclosed the following differences: Carrying amount Fair value Land $ 183,000 $ 253,000 Plant and equipment 732,000 807,000 Inventory 168,000 155,000 The plant and equipment had an estimated life of 20 years on this date. The statements of financial position of Pure and Gold, prepared on December 31, Year 11, follow: Pure Gold Land $ 128,000 $ 183,000 Plant and equipment 655,000 980,000 Less accumulated depreciation (166,000 ) (188,000 ) Patent (net of amortization) 48,500 — Investment in Gold Co. shares (cost method) 488,300 — Investment in Gold Co. bonds 227,000 — Inventory 242,000 196,500 Accounts receivable 249,150 202,000 Cash 58,670 63,000 $ 1,930,620 $ 1,436,500 Ordinary shares $ 750,000 $ 500,000 Retained earnings 1,121,340 437,500 Bonds payable (due Year 20) — 382,000 Accounts payable 59,280 117,000 $ 1,930,620 $ 1,436,500 Additional Information Goodwill impairment tests have resulted in impairment losses totalling $9,360 of the goodwill at the date of acquisition. On January 1, Year 1, Gold issued $400,000 of 8½% bonds at 90, maturing in 20 years (on December 31, Year 20). On January 1, Year 11, Pure acquired $200,000 of Gold’s bonds on the open market at a cost of $230,000. On July 1, Year 8, Gold sold a patent to Pure for $80,000. The patent had a carrying amount on Gold’s books of $59,000 on this date and an estimated remaining life of seven years. Pure uses tax allocation (40% rate) and allocates bond gains between affiliates when it consolidates Gold. Pure uses the cost method to account for its investment in Gold Company and the straight-line method to account for the amortization of bond premiums and discounts.

Answer 1

A consolidated statement of financial position would require combining Pure and Gold's financial records, adjusting for fair value differences at acquisition, accounting for goodwill impairment, and eliminating intercompany transactions and balances.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for Pure and Gold Companies as of December 31, Year 11, we must first aggregate the assets and liabilities from both companies and then make adjustments for intercompany transactions, fair value discrepancies, and goodwill impairment.

First, calculate the excess of cost over book value of net assets acquired: Pure paid $488,300 for a 70% share in Gold, valuing Gold's net identifiable assets at $488,300 / 70% = $697,571. The book value of Gold's net assets at acquisition was calculated as Ordinary shares ($500,000) + Retained earnings ($44,600) - Accumulated depreciation ($78,400) = $466,200. The excess therefore is $697,571 - $466,200 = $231,371.

The fair value adjustments at acquisition for assets would increase Land by ($253,000 - $183,000), Plant and Equipment by ($807,000 - $732,000), and decrease Inventory by ($168,000 - $155,000). Depreciation on the Plant and Equipment fair value adjustment spread over 20 years and goodwill calculation would also be included. Consolidation also requires the elimination of the 'Investment in Gold Co. shares' in Pure's balance sheet against Gold's equity and any intercompany balances.

Answer 2
