Two Hollywood companies had the following balance sheet accounts as of December 31, 20X7 ($ in millions):

                                         Lexia   Hudson                                        Lexia       Hudson
Cash and receivables       $60   $44        Current liabilities               $100       $40
Inventories                         240   6            Common stock                   200       20
Plant assets, net                300   190        Retained earnings              300       180
Total assets                      $600   $240     Total liab. and stk. eq.       $600       $240
Net income for 20X7         $38     $8

On January 4, 20X8, these entities combined. Lexia issued $360 million of its shares (at market value) in exchange for all the shares of Hudson, a motion picture division of a large company. The inventory of films acquired through the combination had been fully amortized on Hudson's books.

During 20X8, Hudson received revenue of $42 million from the rental of films from its inventory.
Lexia earned $40 million on its other operations (i.e., excluding Hudson) during 20X8. Hudson
broke even on its other operations (i.e., excluding the film rental contracts)
during 20X8.

1. Prepare a consolidated balance sheet for the combined company immediately after the combination. Assume $160 million of the purchase price was assigned to the inventory of films. The fair values of all other Hudson assets and liabilities were equal to their book values.

2. Prepare a comparison of Lexia's consolidated net income between 20X7 and 20X8, where the cost of the film inventories would be amortized on a straight-line basis over 4 years. What would be the net income for 20X8 if the $160 million were assigned to goodwill instead of the inventory of films and goodwill was not amortized?

Stuart Airlines is a small airline that occasionally carries overload shipments for the overnight delivery company Never-Fail, Inc. Never-Fail is a multimillion-dollar company started by Wes Never immediately after he failed to finish his first accounting course. The company’s motto is “We Never-Fail to Deliver Your Package on Time.” When Never-Fail has more freight than it can deliver, it pays Stuart to carry the excess. Stuart contracts with independent pilots to fly its planes on a per-trip basis. Stuart recently purchased an airplane that cost the company $6,375,000. The plane has an estimated useful life of 25,500,000 miles and a zero salvage value. During the first week in January, Stuart flew two trips. The first trip was a round trip flight from Chicago to San Francisco, for which Stuart paid $260 for the pilot and $210 for fuel. The second flight was a round trip from Chicago to New York. For this trip, it paid $210 for the pilot and $105 for fuel. The round trip between Chicago and San Francisco is approximately 4,600 miles and the round trip between Chicago and New York is 1,400 miles.
