On January 1, Park Corporation and Strand Corporation had condensed balance sheets as follows:
Park | Strand | ||||||
Current assets | $ | 74,500 | $ | 16,050 | |||
Noncurrent assets | 92,250 | 46,200 | |||||
Total assets | $ | 166,750 | $ | 62,250 | |||
Current liabilities | $ | 32,000 | $ | 12,250 | |||
Long-term debt | 51,750 | ||||||
Stockholders' equity | 83,000 | 50,000 | |||||
Total liabilities and equities | $ | 166,750 | $ | 62,250 | |||
On January 2, Park borrowed $66,000 and used the proceeds to obtain 80 percent of the outstanding common shares of Strand. The acquisition price was considered proportionate to Strand’s total fair value. The $66,000 debt is payable in 10 equal annual principal payments, plus interest, beginning December 31. The excess fair value of the investment over the underlying book value of the acquired net assets is allocated to inventory (60 percent) and to goodwill (40 percent).
(1) On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for current assets?
(2) On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for non current assets?
On a consolidated Balance sheet, each item will be added line by line.
Park and Strand corporation assets (current and non current both) will be added together in consolidated balance sheet. Only it will be increased by that amount which is allocated to Goodwill (non current) & Inventory (current) at the time of purchase of 80% common shares of Strand Corporation. This Goodwill & inventory amount will be $15,600 & $10,400 (calculation attached)
Hence in a Consolidated Balance Sheet,
1) Total value of Current Assets = 74,500+16,050+15,600 = 106,150
2) Total value of Non Current Assets = 92,250+46,200+10,400 = 148,850
Complete consolidated balance sheet is attached for better understanding.
