Question

Assume that a Parent company acquires a 90% interest in its Subsidiary on January 1, 2016. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the 90% controlling interest was $2,160,000 and the fair value of the 10% noncontrolling interest was $240,000. On January 1, 2016, the book value of net assets equaled $2,400,000 and the fair value of the identifiable net assets equaled the book value of identifiable net assets (i.e. there was no AAP or Goodwill). The subsidiary’s retained earnings balance was $452,000 on the date of acquisition. The parent uses the cost method to account for its investment in the subsidiary.

On December 31, 2017, the Subsidiary company issued $2,000,000 (face) 7 percent, five-year bonds to an unaffiliated company for $2,173,179 (i.e. the bonds had an effective yield of 5 percent). The bonds pay interest annually on December 31, and the bond premium is amortized using the straight-line method. This results in annual bond-payable premium amortization equal to $34,636 per year.

On December 31, 2019, the Parent paid $1,948,458 to purchase all of the outstanding Subsidiary company bonds (i.e. the bonds had an effective yield of 8 percent). The bond discount is amortized using the straight-line method, which results in annual bond-investment discount amortization equal to $17,181 per year.
