Question

Preparing a consolidated income statement—Cost method with noncontrolling interest and AAP
A parent company purchased a 90% controlling interest in its subsidiary several years ago. The aggregate fair value of the controlling and noncontrolling interest was $280,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date. This excess was assigned to a building that was estimated to be undervalued by $200,000 and to an unrecorded Customer List valued at $80,000. The building asset is being depreciated over a 10-year period and the Customer List is being amortized over a 5-year period, both on the straight-line basis with no salvage value. During the current year, the subsidiary declared and paid $90,000 of dividends. The parent company uses the cost method of pre-consolidation investment bookkeeping. Each company reports the following income statement for the current year:

	Parent	Subsidiary
Income statement:
Sales	$11,000,000	$1,200,000
Cost of goods sold	(7,400,000)	(720,000)
Gross profit	3,600,000	480,000
Income (loss) from subsidiary	81,000	-
Operating expenses	(3,280,000)	(352,000)
Net income	$401,000	$128,000
