Prince Corporation holds 75 percent of the common stock of Sword Distributors Inc., purchased on December 31, 20X1, for $2,160,000. At the date of acquisition, Sword reported common stock with a par value of $910,000, additional paid-in capital of $1,260,000, and retained earnings of $540,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at acquisition was $720,000. The differential at acquisition was attributable to the following items:
Inventory (sold in 20X2) | $ | 42,500 | |
Land | 59,500 | ||
Goodwill | 68,000 | ||
Total Differential | $ | 170,000 | |
During 20X2, Prince sold a plot of land that it had purchased
several years before to Sword at a gain of $23,800; Sword continues
to hold the land. In 20X6, Prince and Sword entered into a
five-year contract under which Prince provides management
consulting services to Sword on a continuing basis; Sword pays
Prince a fixed fee of $93,000 per year for these services. At
December 31, 20X8, Sword owed Prince $23,250 as the final 20X8
quarterly payment under the contract.
On January 2, 20X8, Prince paid $260,000 to Sword to purchase
equipment that Sword was then carrying at $300,000. Sword had
purchased that equipment on December 27, 20X2, for $450,000. The
equipment is expected to have a total 15-year life and no salvage
value. The amount of the differential assigned to goodwill has not
been impaired.
