a. (For this question only) Suppose that ABD purchased 50% of the outstanding common shares of C for $500 cash (paid out of available cash balance; no issuance of common stock). (a) Prepare the B/S of ABD after the purchase (equity method) of investment. Assume that the market value of C’s assets at the time of purchase was $2,500 (with market value of PPE at $1,600); (b) Calculate current ratio and long-term debt-to-equity ratio of ABD before and after the purchase.
b. (Continuing from Requirement 2) Suppose that you, as a prominent financial analyst, decide to apply the proportionate consolidation on ABD’s balance sheet after the purchase of C. (a) Prepare the B/S of ABD with the proportionate consolidation; (b) Determine and explain the effect of proportionate consolidation on current ratio, long-term debt-to-equity ratio, and (3) indicate (higher, lower, or no change) & explain the effect on ROA ratio (you cannot calculate ROA due to limited information).
Part- a. | |
(a) Balance sheet of ABD Inc. After the purchase as on Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Amount ($) | |
Assets | |
Cash (800-500) | 300 |
Account Receivable | 0 |

Current Assets | 1,000 |
Plant and equipment, net | 0 |
Investment in equity of C Corp. (2,500-1500)*50% | 500 |

Common stock ($1 par) | 500 |
Additional paid in capital | 100 |

Total | 1,500 |
(b) Calculation of ratio: | |
Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities | |
= 1,000/600 = 1.67 | |
Long term debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities/Shareholders equity | |
= 600/900 = 0.67 | |
Part- b. | |
(a) Consolidated Balance sheet of ABD Inc. as on Dec. 31, 2017 | |
Amount ($) | |
Assets | |
Cash (800-500) | 300 |
Account Receivable | 450 |
Inventory | 700 |
Current Assets | 1,450 |
Plant and equipment, net | 600 |
Total | 2,050 |
Accounts payable | 600 |
Long term debt | 750 |
Total liabilities | 1,350 |
Common stock ($1 par) | 500 |
Additional paid in capital | 100 |
Retained earnings (300-200) | 100 |
Shareholders equity | 700 |
Total | 2,050 |
(we have not considered market value of plant and equipment in this part of question as we assume that market value is given only for first part of question) | |
(b) Calculation of ratio after proportionate consolidation: | |
Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities | |
= 1,450/600 = 2.42 | |
Current ratio increased due to increase in current ratio and staying constant of current liabilities. | |
Long term debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities/Shareholders equity | |
= 1,350/700 = 1.93 | |
Ratio has changed compared to part a because shareholders equity decreased due to goodwill generated in purchase of C Corporation. |
