Dover Financial Corporation

Total assets

227,339,000

51,933,000

42,777,000

11,000,000

227,339,000

51,933,000

Assume Dover Financial Corporation’s assets and liabilities are reported at fair value. Dover Auto Inc. pays $11,000,000 in cash to Dover Financial Corporation’s shareholders for Dover Financial corporation’s assets and liabilities and then consolidates the assets and liabilities of Dover Financial Corporation with its own assets and liabilities.

  1. Please prepare the acquisition journal entry and the consolidated financial balance sheet
  2. If Dover Auto Inc. instead treats the transaction as an investment, accounted for by equity method, prepare the journal entry for this transaction and prepare balance sheet of Dover Auto Inc. with this equity investment.
  3. Analyze the effect that consolidation of Dover Financial Corporation has on key leverage ratios-such as debt to equity and debt to total assets. Please report Dover Auto Inc’s leverage ratios before investment in Dover Financial Corp, Dover Auto Inc plus equity method investment, and Dover Auto Inc. with consolidation of Dover Financial Corporation, separately.

Effect on key leverage ratio of Drover Auto Inc after consolidation:

Debt/ Equity Ratio   = 225495000/42777000 = 5.27:1

Debt/ Total asset Ratio =       225495000/268272000 = 0.84:1

-Report Dover Auto Inc’s leverage ratios before investment in Dover Financial Corp, Dover Auto Inc plus equity method investment, and Dover Auto Inc. with consolidation of Dover Financial Corporation

Before Cosolidation:

Debt/ Equity Ratio = 184,562,000/42,777,000 = 4.31: 1

Debt/ Total asset Ratio =    184,562,000/227,339,000 = 0.81: 1

After Cosolidation (Account as equity):

Debt/ Equity Ratio = 184,562,000/42,777,000 = 4.31: 1

Debt/ Total asset Ratio =    184,562,000/227,339,000 = 0.81: 1

After Cosolidation ( other than account as equity)

Debt/ Equity Ratio   = 225495000/42777000 = 5.27:1

Debt/ Total asset Ratio =       225495000/268272000 = 0.84:1

On the calculation of above, we can conclude that-

  • If We account the transaction of purchase stock by Drover Auto Inc of Drover financial as Equity then there is no effect on Ratio of Debt/equity & Debt/total Asset Ratio.
  • But If we account as aquisition of business then, both ratio is increased as debt/ quity is increased by 0.96 or debt to total asset ration is increased by 0.03.
