ACCT 402 - Advanced Accounting Question
Bank
Question 1
Scenario: Imagine Corporation X acquired 100
Question: Prepare the journal entry that Corporation X would make to
record the acquisition of Corporation Y.
Solution:
Step-by-Step Analysis:
Step 1: Determine the value of net assets acquired First, compute the net
assets (total assets - total liabilities) of Corporation Y at the time of acquisition.
- Total assets = 500,000 −T otalliabilities =200,000 - Net assets = Total
assets - Total liabilities = 500,000−200,000 = 300,000
Step 2: Compare purchase consideration to net assets Next, compare the
purchase consideration to the value of the net assets acquired to determine if
there is any goodwill.
- Purchase consideration = 400,000 −N etassetsacquired =300,000 - Good-
will = Purchase consideration - Net assets = 400,000−300,000 = 100,000
Step 3: Prepare the journal entry Corporation X needs to record the acqui-
sition on its books. The journal entry on December 31, 2022, would be:
- Debit Asset Account (reflects total assets of Y): 500,000−CreditLiabilityAccount(ref lectstotalliabilitiesofY ) :200,000
- Debit Goodwill (if any): 100,000−CreditCash(ref lectspurchaseconsiderationpaid) :400,000
Journal Entry:
“‘ Dr Assets 500,000 Goodwill 100,000 Cr Liabilities 200,000 Cr Cash 400,000
“‘
This entry records the acquisition of all assets and liabilities of Corporation
Y by Corporation X and recognizes goodwill arising from the purchase consid-
eration exceeding the net assets acquired. Question 1: Consolidation of
Financial Statements – Acquisition Method
Scenario: Imagine Corporation X acquired 100
Question: Prepare the journal entry that Corporation X would
make to record the acquisition of Corporation Y.
Solution:
Step-by-Step Analysis:
Step 1: Determine the value of net assets acquired First, compute
the net assets (total assets - total liabilities) of Corporation Y at the
1
time of acquisition.
- Total assets = 500,000 −T otalliabilities =200,000 - Net assets =
Total assets - Total liabilities = 500,000−200,000 = 300,000
Step 2: Compare purchase consideration to net assets Next, com-
pare the purchase consideration to the value of the net assets acquired
to determine if there is any goodwill.
- Purchase consideration = 400,000 −N etassetsacquired =300,000 -
Goodwill = Purchase consideration - Net assets = 400,000−300,000
=100,000
Step 3: Prepare the journal entry Corporation X needs to record
the acquisition on its books. The journal entry on December 31, 2022,
would be:
- Debit Asset Account (reflects total assets of Y): 500,000−CreditLiabilityAccount(ref lectstotalliabilitiesof Y ) :200,000
- Debit Goodwill (if any): 100,000−CreditCash(reflectspurchaseconsiderationpaid) :400,000
Journal Entry:
“‘ Dr Assets 500,000 Goodwill 100,000 Cr Liabilities 200,000 Cr
Cash 400,000 “‘
This entry records the acquisition of all assets and liabilities of
Corporation Y by Corporation X and recognizes goodwill arising from
the purchase consideration exceeding the net assets acquired.
Question 2
Background Information: Suppose that on January 1, 2022, Big
Corp acquires 100
Required: Prepare a consolidation worksheet entry for the acqui-
sition of Small Corp by Big Corp as of January 1, 2022.
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the Purchase Price Allocation The first step in
preparing the consolidation worksheet after acquisition is to deter-
mine the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed at fair value.
1. Purchase Consideration (Cash Paid by Big Corp): 300,0002.BookV alueofSmallCorp′sNetAssets :240,000
3. Fair Value Adjustments: 60,0004.Excessof P urchaseP riceoverF airV alueof NetAssets(Goodwill) :
−F airV alueofN etAssets =BookV alueof NetAssets+F airV alueAdjustments−
F airV alueofN etAssets =240,000 + 60,000 =300,000 - Goodwill = Pur-
chase Price - Fair Value of Net Assets = 300,000−300,000 = 0
Step 2: Prepare the Consolidation Worksheet Entries The acquisi-
tion creates certain consolidation adjustments to reflect the purchase
and to eliminate the investment against the equity of the acquired
company.
Consolidation Worksheet Entries:
1. Dr. Net Assets of Small Corp (Identifiable Assets and Liabili-
ties at Fair Value) - Dr. Tangible and Identifiable Intangible Assets
300,000(torecordassetsatfairvalue)

4. Cr. Fair Value Adjustment to Net Assets 60,000−(torecordtheadjustmentrequiredtostateSmallCorp′sassetsandliabilitiesatf airvalue)
Note: Since there was no residual amount to allocate to goodwill
(it stands at 0), noGoodwillaccountiscreatedinthistransaction.
Conclusion The above journal entries help in the removal of the
equity accounts of Small Corp and recognize its assets and liabilities at
their fair values in the consolidated financial statements of Big Corp.
This step ensures that the consolidated financial statements represent
the financial position and results of operations as if Big Corp and
Small Corp were a single economic entity from the acquisition date.
Question 2: Consolidation after Acquisition
Background Information: Suppose that on January 1, 2022, Big

Question 3
Question: Compute the consolidated financial statements (balance
sheet) for the following:
Company P purchased 80
- Common Stock: 50,000 −RetainedEarnings :100,000
During the year, Company S earned net income of 40,000andpaiddividendsof10,000.
Assume no intercompany transactions occurred during the year.
Provide the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, Year
1.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculate Company S’s Ending Stockholders’ Equity
- Initial Stockholder Equity = Common Stock (50,000)+RetainedEarnings(100,000)
=150,000−Add :NetIncome =40,000 - Less: Dividends Paid = (10,000)−
EndingStockholders′Equity =150,000 + 40,000−10,000 = 180,000
Step 2: Calculate the Non-controlling Interest
- Company P owns 80- Non-controlling Interest in Company S’s
Equity at Year-End:
Non −controllingInterest = 20%×
180,000 = 36,000
Step 3: Preparation of Consolidated Statement of Financial Posi-
tion
For the purpose of this example, assume Company P’s balance
sheet just prior to the acquisition (January 1, Year 1) looks like this:
- Assets = 300,000 −Liabilities =100,000 - Stockholder’s Equity =
200,000(CommonStock120,000 + Retained Earnings 80,000)
Consolidation Entries: - Add 100(For simplicity, assume Company
S had 180,000inNetAssets =T otalAssets)−AddtheAcquisitionDif ferentialifany(incaseswherepurchaseconsideration! =
fairvalueof NetIdentifiableAssets).
Since fair values equal book values and no specific asset and lia-
bility details have been provided for Company S, proceed with book
values.
Consolidated Balance Sheet Computation:
- Assets: - Total Company P: 300,000−T otalCompanyS :Assume180,000

provided). - Consolidated Total Assets: 300,000+180,000 = 480,000
- Liabilities: - Total Company P: 100,000−T otalCompanyS :AssumeLiabilitiesaresuchthatEquityis180,000
(without specific numbers, this part is hypothetical). - Consolidated
Total Liabilities: 100,000 + (AssumedLiabilitiesof CompanyS)
- Equity: - Equity attributable to Parent (Company P):
200,000 + (80% ×40,000 Net Income of S - Dividends from S 10,000) =200,000
+ (32,000−8,000) = 224,000 - Non-controlling Interest: 36,000
4
- Consolidated Total Equity: - Consolidated Total Equity = 224,000(P arent)+36,000
(NCI) = 260,000
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, Year 1:
- Assets: 480,000 −Liabilities +Equity : (AssumedLiabilities)+260,000
This simplified version assumes that the proportional share of prof-
its and changes in equity due to transactions reflect accurately in
the consolidated book values, and specific details about Company S’s
liabilities and asset distributions are missing and therefore are hy-
pothetically calculated to reflect the given data points. Advanced

Question 5
Topic: Consolidation after Acquisition
*Liberty Corporation acquired 90
*During the year 2021, Freedom reported net income of 120,000andpaiddividendsof 40,000.
Assume all sales between the parent and subsidiary are made at mar-
ket value and are paid on account with no unrealized profits at year-
end.*
Tasks: 1. Calculate the Goodwill acquired in the acquisition. 2.
Prepare the worksheet necessary to begin the consolidation process
for the year ending December 31, 2021, assuming no impairments
have occurred.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the Goodwill acquired in the acquisition
- Determine the purchase price: - Liberty Corporation acquired
90- Since no goodwill is implied, the total purchase price and fair
value of net identifiable assets acquired are the same.
- Calculation: - Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair value of net iden-
tifiable assets acquired - Good existing Goodwill = 0asstated(nogoodwillimplied).
Conclusion: Goodwill = 0.
Step 2: Prepare the worksheet for consolidation
- Identify adjustments and eliminations: - Record the difference
between the book value and the fair value of the equipment. The
adjustment is necessary to reflect the fair value at the point of acqui-
sition.
- Calculate Fair Value Adjustment for Equipment: - Fair Value
Adjustment = Fair Value - Book Value = 400,000−300,000 = 100,000.−

- Consolidation Entries: 1. DRV (Debit): Record the differential
due to the fair value adjustment of equipment. - Debit Equipment (to
increase it to fair value) = 100,000−CreditAccumulatedDepreciation =20,000
(for one year’s additional depreciation) - Net adjustment = 100,000−20,000
=80,000
2. EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS: - Debit Investment in Freedom
Company = 108,000(90 −CreditEquityinSubsidiaryEarnings =108,000
3. ELIMINATION of intercompany equity: - Debit Common
Stock, Retained Earnings, and other equity accounts of Freedom re-
ported on Freedom’s balance sheet. - Credit Investment in Freedom
Company by net of Freedom’s equity amounts.
This worksheet begins the consolidation process by adjusting and
eliminating entries to reflect only the eligible accounts and balances
for the consolidated financial statements. Adjustments ensure that
subsidiary’s asset balances are reported at fair value as at acquisition
and depreciation matches the new values, while eliminations remove
the effects of the investment transaction from Liberty’s books. Ques-

Question 6
Background: Corporation P owns 80
Task: Prepare the necessary entries to eliminate the effects of the
intercompany sale in the consolidated financial statements at year-
end.
Questions:
1. What is the intercompany inventory profit that must be elimi-
nated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements? 2.
What elimination entries should be made at year-end to adjust for
the intercompany sale of inventory?
Step-by-Step Solutions:
Question 1: Determination of Intercompany Inventory Profit
Step 1: Calculate the total profit Corporation S made on the inven-
tory sold to Corporation P. - Sale Price: 100,000(f romCorporationStoCorporationP )−
CostP rice :70,000 - Profit: 100,000 - 70,000 =30,000
Step 2: Determine the profit embedded in the unsold inventory
at Corporation P at year-end. - Percentage of Inventory Unsold: 50-
Profit to Eliminate: 30,000 ×50% =15,000
Answer: The intercompany inventory profit that needs to be elim-
inated in the consolidated financial statements is 15,000.
Question 2: Elimination Entries
Step 1: Eliminate the unsold portion of the profit from Corpora-
tion P’s inventory. - Debit: Sales Revenue (Profit in Inventory) from
S to P: 15,000 −Credit :InventoryonP ′sbooks :15,000
10
Step 2: Adjust the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to reflect the
elimination of the intercompany profit for the sold goods. - Since
half the inventory was sold, we adjust for the profit in that portion:
- Debit: COGS: 15,000 −Credit :Inventory :15,000

P(15,000)
2. (For the portion sold) Debit: Cost of Goods Sold - P (15,000)Credit :
Inventory −P(15,000)
Answer: These entries ensure that the effects of the intercompany
transaction are eliminated, presenting an accurate and consolidated
view of the economic situation of the parent and its subsidiary as
if they were a single economic entity. Question 6: Intercompany
Transactions and Consolidation
Background: Corporation P owns 80
Task: Prepare the necessary entries to eliminate the effects of the
intercompany sale in the consolidated financial statements at year-
end.
Questions:
1. What is the intercompany inventory profit that must be elimi-
nated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements? 2.
What elimination entries should be made at year-end to adjust for
the intercompany sale of inventory?
Step-by-Step Solutions:
Question 1: Determination of Intercompany Inventory Profit
Step 1: Calculate the total profit Corporation S made on the inven-
tory sold to Corporation P. - Sale Price: 100,000(f romCorporationStoCorporationP )−
CostP rice :70,000 - Profit: 100,000 - 70,000 =30,000
Step 2: Determine the profit embedded in the unsold inventory
at Corporation P at year-end. - Percentage of Inventory Unsold: 50-
Profit to Eliminate: 30,000 ×50% =15,000
Answer: The intercompany inventory profit that needs to be elim-
inated in the consolidated financial statements is 15,000.
Question 2: Elimination Entries
Step 1: Eliminate the unsold portion of the profit from Corpora-
tion P’s inventory. - Debit: Sales Revenue (Profit in Inventory) from
S to P: 15,000 −Credit :InventoryonP ′sbooks :15,000
Step 2: Adjust the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to reflect the
elimination of the intercompany profit for the sold goods. - Since
half the inventory was sold, we adjust for the profit in that portion:
- Debit: COGS: 15,000 −Credit :Inventory :15,000
Entries: 1. Debit: Sales Revenue - S (15,000)Credit :Inventory −
P(15,000)
2. (For the portion sold) Debit: Cost of Goods Sold - P (15,000)Credit :
Inventory −P(15,000)
Answer: These entries ensure that the effects of the intercompany
transaction are eliminated, presenting an accurate and consolidated
11
view of the economic situation of the parent and its subsidiary as if
they were a single economic entity.
Question 7
Background: On January 1, 2023, Parent Company purchased 80
Requirements: a. Calculate the non-controlling interest (NCI)
share of Subsidiary’s net income for the year 2023. b. Prepare the
consolidation worksheet entry to eliminate the effects of the intra-
group sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.
—
Solution:
Step-by-step Solution:
Part A: Calculate the NCI Share of Subsidiary’s Net Income
1. Determine Subsidiary’s Net Income: Assume Subsidiary re-
ported a net income of 200,000fortheyear.
2. Calculate NCI Share: Since Parent owns 80
NCI Share of Subsidiary’s Net Income = 0.20 ×$200,000 = $40,000
Part B: Prepare Consolidation Worksheet Entry
1. Calculate Unrealized Profit in Inventory: Inventory sold from
Subsidiary to Parent cost Subsidiary 70,000andwassoldfor100,000, cre-
ating a 30,000grossmargin.P arenthas30Unrealized Profit = 30%×$30,000 =
$9,000
2. Prepare Journal Entry to Eliminate Unrealized Profit: To elim-
inate the unrealized profit in the ending inventory that remains with
Parent, reduce both the Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
accounts:
- Debit Cost of Goods Sold:
$
9,000 - Credit Inventory:
$
9,000
This entry adjusts the subsidiary’s inventory from Parent’s books
to its original cost to Subsidiary, reflecting what it should have cost
if the transaction had not occurred.
Journal Entry: “‘ Cost of Goods Sold 9,000 Inventory 9,000 “‘
Explanation: This entry corrects the overstated cost of goods sold
and inventory values on the consolidated financial statements due
to the downstream sale of inventory from Subsidiary to Parent. By
adjusting these figures, the consolidated financial statements reflect
a more accurate picture of economic reality, as opposed to the legal
reality of intra-group transfers. Question 7: Consolidation Following
a Downstream Sale of Inventory
Background: On January 1, 2023, Parent Company purchased 80
Requirements: a. Calculate the non-controlling interest (NCI)
share of Subsidiary’s net income for the year 2023. b. Prepare the
consolidation worksheet entry to eliminate the effects of the intra-
group sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Question 9
Scenario: Carter Corporation acquired 80
Carter Corporation uses the full goodwill method for accounting
its investments. Assume the financial statements are prepared at the
end of the year, December 31, 2023.
Additional Information: Southgate Company earned a net income
of 120,000anddeclareddividendsof 40,000 in 2023.
Required: 1. Calculate goodwill at the time of purchase. 2. Pre-
pare the consolidation worksheet entries as of December 31, 2023.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Calculate Goodwill at the Time of Purchase
1. Determine the total fair value of Southgate Company: Total Fair Value =
Fair Value of Controlling Interest+Fair Value of Noncontrolling Interest
Total Fair Value = $800,000 + $200,000 = $1,000,000
2. Calculate the fair value of identifiable net assets: Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets =
Book Value of Net Assets+Adjustments Adjustments = +$100,000(Equipment)+
$50,000(Patents) = $150,000 Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets = $900,000+
$150,000 = $1,050,000
3. Compute Goodwill: Goodwill =Total Fair Value of Southgate−
Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Goodwill = $1,000,000−$1,050,000 =
−$50,000 Since goodwill cannot be negative, the original calculation
15
suggests there might be no goodwill. However, actual acquisition
price and acquisition accounting adjustments may need to be revis-
ited to ascertain if an incorrectly assessed or undervalued asset com-
ponent is causing the negative figure.
Step 2: Prepare Consolidation Worksheet Entries as of December
31, 2023
1. Entry to Eliminate Parent’s Investment in Subsidiary and Sub-
sidiary’s Equity: Dr. Common Stock - Southgate $300,000 Dr. Retained Earnings - Southgate $600,000
Dr. Noncontrolling Interest $200,000 Cr. Investment in Southgate $800,000
Cr. Goodwill $300,000
2. Entry for Depreciation of Fair Value Adjustment: Depreciation for Equipment =
$100,000
5years = $20,000 Amortization of Patents =$50,000
10 years = $5,000 Dr. Depreciation Expense $20,000
Dr. Amortization Expense $5,000 Cr. Accumulated Depreciation – Equipment $20,000
Cr. Accumulated Amortization – Patents $5,000
3. Entry for Noncontrolling Interest Share of Net Income: Noncontrolling Interest Share =
20%×$120,000 = $24,000 Dr. Noncontrolling Interest $24,000 Cr. Investment Income $24,000

Book Value of Net Assets+Adjustments Adjustments = +$100,000(Equipment)+
$50,000(Patents) = $150,000 Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets = $900,000+
$150,000 = $1,050,000
3. Compute Goodwill: Goodwill =Total Fair Value of Southgate−
Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Goodwill = $1,000,000−$1,050,000 =

Question 3
Question: Compute the consolidated financial statements (balance
sheet) for the following:
Company P purchased 80
- Common Stock: 50,000 −RetainedEarnings :100,000
During the year, Company S earned net income of 40,000andpaiddividendsof10,000.
Assume no intercompany transactions occurred during the year.
Provide the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, Year
1.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculate Company S’s Ending Stockholders’ Equity
- Initial Stockholder Equity = Common Stock (50,000)+RetainedEarnings(100,000)
=150,000−Add :NetIncome =40,000 - Less: Dividends Paid = (10,000)−
EndingStockholders′Equity =150,000 + 40,000−10,000 = 180,000
Step 2: Calculate the Non-controlling Interest
- Company P owns 80- Non-controlling Interest in Company S’s
Equity at Year-End:
Non −controllingInterest = 20%×
180,000 = 36,000
Step 3: Preparation of Consolidated Statement of Financial Posi-
tion
For the purpose of this example, assume Company P’s balance
sheet just prior to the acquisition (January 1, Year 1) looks like this:
- Assets = 300,000 −Liabilities =100,000 - Stockholder’s Equity =

Accounting Question for Liberty University 3
Question: Compute the consolidated financial statements (balance
sheet) for the following:
Company P purchased 80
- Common Stock: 50,000 −RetainedEarnings :100,000
During the year, Company S earned net income of 40,000andpaiddividendsof10,000.
Assume no intercompany transactions occurred during the year.
Provide the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, Year
1.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculate Company S’s Ending Stockholders’ Equity
- Initial Stockholder Equity = Common Stock (50,000)+RetainedEarnings(100,000)
=150,000−Add :NetIncome =40,000 - Less: Dividends Paid = (10,000)−
EndingStockholders′Equity =150,000 + 40,000−10,000 = 180,000
Step 2: Calculate the Non-controlling Interest
- Company P owns 80- Non-controlling Interest in Company S’s
Equity at Year-End:
Non −controllingInterest = 20%×
180,000 = 36,000
Step 3: Preparation of Consolidated Statement of Financial Posi-
tion
For the purpose of this example, assume Company P’s balance
sheet just prior to the acquisition (January 1, Year 1) looks like this:
- Assets = 300,000 −Liabilities =100,000 - Stockholder’s Equity =
200,000(CommonStock120,000 + Retained Earnings 80,000)
Consolidation Entries: - Add 100(For simplicity, assume Company
S had 180,000inNetAssets =T otalAssets)−AddtheAcquisitionDif ferentialifany(incaseswherepurchaseconsideration! =

Question 5
Topic: Consolidation after Acquisition
*Liberty Corporation acquired 90
*During the year 2021, Freedom reported net income of 120,000andpaiddividendsof 40,000.
Assume all sales between the parent and subsidiary are made at mar-
ket value and are paid on account with no unrealized profits at year-
end.*
Tasks: 1. Calculate the Goodwill acquired in the acquisition. 2.
Prepare the worksheet necessary to begin the consolidation process
for the year ending December 31, 2021, assuming no impairments
have occurred.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the Goodwill acquired in the acquisition
- Determine the purchase price: - Liberty Corporation acquired
90- Since no goodwill is implied, the total purchase price and fair
value of net identifiable assets acquired are the same.
- Calculation: - Goodwill = Purchase Price - Fair value of net iden-
tifiable assets acquired - Good existing Goodwill = 0asstated(nogoodwillimplied).
Conclusion: Goodwill = 0.
Step 2: Prepare the worksheet for consolidation
- Identify adjustments and eliminations: - Record the difference
between the book value and the fair value of the equipment. The
adjustment is necessary to reflect the fair value at the point of acqui-
sition.
- Calculate Fair Value Adjustment for Equipment: - Fair Value
Adjustment = Fair Value - Book Value = 400,000−300,000 = 100,000.−

- Consolidation Entries: 1. DRV (Debit): Record the differential
due to the fair value adjustment of equipment. - Debit Equipment (to
increase it to fair value) = 100,000−CreditAccumulatedDepreciation =20,000
(for one year’s additional depreciation) - Net adjustment = 100,000−20,000
=80,000
2. EQUITY ADJUSTMENTS: - Debit Investment in Freedom
Company = 108,000(90 −CreditEquityinSubsidiaryEarnings =108,000
3. ELIMINATION of intercompany equity: - Debit Common
Stock, Retained Earnings, and other equity accounts of Freedom re-
ported on Freedom’s balance sheet. - Credit Investment in Freedom
Company by net of Freedom’s equity amounts.
This worksheet begins the consolidation process by adjusting and
eliminating entries to reflect only the eligible accounts and balances
for the consolidated financial statements. Adjustments ensure that
subsidiary’s asset balances are reported at fair value as at acquisition
and depreciation matches the new values, while eliminations remove
the effects of the investment transaction from Liberty’s books. Ques-

Question 6
Background: Corporation P owns 80
Task: Prepare the necessary entries to eliminate the effects of the
intercompany sale in the consolidated financial statements at year-
end.
Questions:
1. What is the intercompany inventory profit that must be elimi-
nated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements? 2.
What elimination entries should be made at year-end to adjust for
the intercompany sale of inventory?
Step-by-Step Solutions:
Question 1: Determination of Intercompany Inventory Profit
Step 1: Calculate the total profit Corporation S made on the inven-
tory sold to Corporation P. - Sale Price: 100,000(f romCorporationStoCorporationP )−
CostP rice :70,000 - Profit: 100,000 - 70,000 =30,000
Step 2: Determine the profit embedded in the unsold inventory
at Corporation P at year-end. - Percentage of Inventory Unsold: 50-
Profit to Eliminate: 30,000 ×50% =15,000
Answer: The intercompany inventory profit that needs to be elim-
inated in the consolidated financial statements is 15,000.

Question 7
Background: On January 1, 2023, Parent Company purchased 80
Requirements: a. Calculate the non-controlling interest (NCI)
share of Subsidiary’s net income for the year 2023. b. Prepare the
consolidation worksheet entry to eliminate the effects of the intra-
group sale for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Solution:
Step-by-step Solution:
Part A: Calculate the NCI Share of Subsidiary’s Net Income
1. Determine Subsidiary’s Net Income: Assume Subsidiary re-
ported a net income of 200,000fortheyear.
2. Calculate NCI Share: Since Parent owns 80
NCI Share of Subsidiary’s Net Income = 0.20 ×$200,000 = $40,000
Part B: Prepare Consolidation Worksheet Entry

2. Prepare Journal Entry to Eliminate Unrealized Profit: To elim-
inate the unrealized profit in the ending inventory that remains with
Parent, reduce both the Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
accounts:
- Debit Cost of Goods Sold:
$
9,000 - Credit Inventory:
$

This entry adjusts the subsidiary’s inventory from Parent’s books
to its original cost to Subsidiary, reflecting what it should have cost
if the transaction had not occurred.
Journal Entry: “‘ Cost of Goods Sold 9,000 Inventory 9,000 “‘
Explanation: This entry corrects the overstated cost of goods sold
and inventory values on the consolidated financial statements due
to the downstream sale of inventory from Subsidiary to Parent. By
adjusting these figures, the consolidated financial statements reflect
a more accurate picture of economic reality, as opposed to the legal
reality of intra-group transfers. Question 7: Consolidation Following

Context: Liberty Corporation acquired 90
Below are the financial data of Liberty Corporation and Freedom,
Inc. as of December 31, 2020:
- Liberty Corporation: - Cash: 28,000−Inventory :42,000 - Patented
technology (net): 16,000 −Otherassets(net) :314,000 - Total liabilities:
120,000 −Commonstock :150,000 - Retained earnings: 130,000
- Freedom, Inc.: - Cash: 8,000 −Inventory :22,000 - Other as-
sets (net): 90,000 −T otalliabilities :50,000 - Common stock: 50,000 −

The fair value of the patented technology acquired from Freedom,
Inc. was assessed at 40,000overitsbookvalueandwasexpectedtobenefitthecombinedentityovera10−
yearperiod.
Task: Prepare the consolidation worksheet entries as of December
31, 2020.
Step-by-step Solution:
Step 1: Determine the purchase price allocation and goodwill. -
Purchase Price of Freedom, Inc.: Assume 90,000−F airvalueof patentedtechnologynotonF reedom′sbooks :40,000
- Total purchase consideration allocated to net assets: - 90- Add: Fair

value excess due to technology: 40,000−Less :Bookvalueof allocatednetassets :63,000
- Goodwill: 67,000(P urchaseprice −F airvalueof netidentifiableassets)
Step 2: Create consolidation worksheet entries. - Record the ac-
quisition at fair value: - Dr. Inventory (Freedom) 22,000−Dr.OtherAssets(F reedom)90,000
- Dr. Goodwill 67,000 −Dr.P atentedT echnology40,000 - Cr. Investment

cess.
Question 9
Scenario: Carter Corporation acquired 80
Carter Corporation uses the full goodwill method for accounting
its investments. Assume the financial statements are prepared at the
end of the year, December 31, 2023.
Additional Information: Southgate Company earned a net income
of 120,000anddeclareddividendsof 40,000 in 2023.
Required: 1. Calculate goodwill at the time of purchase. 2. Pre-
pare the consolidation worksheet entries as of December 31, 2023.
Step-by-Step Solution
Step 1: Calculate Goodwill at the Time of Purchase
1. Determine the total fair value of Southgate Company: Total Fair Value =
Fair Value of Controlling Interest+Fair Value of Noncontrolling Interest
Total Fair Value = $800,000 + $200,000 = $1,000,000
2. Calculate the fair value of identifiable net assets: Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets =
Book Value of Net Assets+Adjustments Adjustments = +$100,000(Equipment)+
$50,000(Patents) = $150,000 Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets = $900,000+
$150,000 = $1,050,000
3. Compute Goodwill: Goodwill =Total Fair Value of Southgate−
Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Goodwill = $1,000,000−$1,050,000 =
−$50,000 Since goodwill cannot be negative, the original calculation
15
suggests there might be no goodwill. However, actual acquisition
price and acquisition accounting adjustments may need to be revis-
ited to ascertain if an incorrectly assessed or undervalued asset com-
ponent is causing the negative figure.
Step 2: Prepare Consolidation Worksheet Entries as of December
31, 2023
1. Entry to Eliminate Parent’s Investment in Subsidiary and Sub-
sidiary’s Equity: Dr. Common Stock - Southgate $300,000 Dr. Retained Earnings - Southgate $600,000
Dr. Noncontrolling Interest $200,000 Cr. Investment in Southgate $800,000
Cr. Goodwill $300,000
2. Entry for Depreciation of Fair Value Adjustment: Depreciation for Equipment =
$100,000
5years = $20,000 Amortization of Patents =$50,000
10 years = $5,000 Dr. Depreciation Expense $20,000
Dr. Amortization Expense $5,000 Cr. Accumulated Depreciation – Equipment $20,000
Cr. Accumulated Amortization – Patents $5,000
3. Entry for Noncontrolling Interest Share of Net Income: Noncontrolling Interest Share =
20%×$120,000 = $24,000 Dr. Noncontrolling Interest $24,000 Cr. Investment Income $24,000
4. Entry for Dividends Declared: Parent share of Dividends =
80%×$40,000 = $32,000; NCI share =Question9 : ConsolidationwithN oncontrollingInterest
