Comprehensive Problem: Consolidation Working Paper and Financial Statements Pierre

Corporation acquired 75 percent of Selene Corporation’s common stock for $20,100,000 on January 2,

2017. The estimated fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $5,900,000. Selene’s book value at date

of acquisition was $10,000,000, and its identifiable net assets were fairly stated except for previously

unreported completed technology, valued at $4,000,000, with a remaining life of 5 years, straight‑line. It

is now December 31, 2020, and you are preparing consolidated financial statements for Pierre and Selene.

Following is information on intercompany transactions

1. On January 2, 2018, Pierre sold equipment to Selene for $6 million and recorded a gain of $2 million.

The equipment had a remaining life of 10 years at that time.

2. Selene supplies Pierre with component parts for its products, at a markup of 20 percent on cost.

During 2020, Selene made sales totaling $20 million to Pierre. Pierre had parts purchased for $1.8

million and $2.4 million in its 2020 beginning and ending inventory balances, respectively.

3. Pierre sells materials to Selene for use in its manufacturing processes, at a markup of 20 percent on sell‑

ing price. During 2020, Pierre made sales totaling $15 million to Selene. Selene had materials purchased

for $3 million and $2.8 million in its 2020 beginning and ending inventory balances, respectively

Goodwill arising from this acquisition was impaired by $3 million during the years 2017–2019, and no

further goodwill impairment occurred in 2020. Pierre uses the complete equity method to report the in‑

vestment in Selene on its own books. The separate December 31, 2020, trial balances of Pierre and Selene

appear below, before Pierre’s end‑of‑year adjustment to record its equity in Selene’s net income and other
