On January 4, 2018, Runyan Bakery paid $324 million for 10
million shares of Lavery Labeling Company common stock. The
investment represents a 30% interest in the net assets of Lavery
and gave Runyan the ability to exercise significant influence over
Lavery's operations. Runyan chose the fair value option to account
for this investment. Runyan received dividends of $2.00 per share
on December 15, 2018, and Lavery reported net income of $160
million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The market value of
Lavery's common stock at December 31, 2018, was $31 per share. On
the purchase date, the book value of Lavery's net assets was $800
million and: The fair value of Lavery's depreciable assets, with an
average remaining useful life of six years, exceeded their book
value by $80 million. The remainder of the excess of the cost of
the investment over the book value of net assets purchased was
attributable to goodwill. Required: 1-a. Prepare all appropriate
journal entries related to the investment during 2018, assuming
Runyan accounts for this investment under the fair value option,
and accounts for the Lavery investment in a manner similar to what
it would use for securities for which there is not significant
influence. 1-b. Calculate the effect of these journal entries on
2018 net income, and the amount at which the investment is carried
in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet. 2-a. Prepare all
appropriate journal entries related to the investment during 2018,
assuming Runyan accounts for this investment under the fair value
option, but uses equity method accounting to account for Lavery’s
income and dividends, and then records a fair value adjustment at
the end of the year that allows it to comply with GAAP. 2-b.
Calculate the effect of these journal entries on 2018 net income,
and the amount at which the investment is carried in the December
31, 2018, balance sheet.
