On July 1, 2018, Truman Company acquired a 70 percent interest in Atlanta Company in exchange for consideration of $772,275 in cash and equity securities. The remaining 30 percent of Atlanta’s shares traded closely near an average price that totaled $330,975 both before and after Truman’s acquisition.

In reviewing its acquisition, Truman assigned a $132,000 fair value to a patent recently developed by Atlanta, even though it was not recorded within the financial records of the subsidiary. This patent is anticipated to have a remaining life of five years.

The following financial information is available for these two companies for 2018. In addition, the subsidiary’s income was earned uniformly throughout the year. The subsidiary declared dividends quarterly.

1. How did Truman allocate Atlanta’s acquisition-date fair value to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the combination?

2. How did Truman allocate the goodwill from the acquisition across the controlling and noncontrolling interests?

3. How did Truman derive the Investment in Atlanta account balance at the end of 2018?

4. Prepare a worksheet to consolidate the financial statements of these two companies as of December 31, 2018. At year-end, there were no intra-entity receivables or payables.

Padre, Inc., buys 80 percent of the outstanding common stock of Sierra Corporation on January 1, 2018, for $706,560 cash. At the acquisition date, Sierra’s total fair value, including the noncontrolling interest, was assessed at $883,200 although Sierra’s book value was only $608,000. Also, several individual items on Sierra’s financial records had fair values that differed from their book values as follows:

For internal reporting purposes, Padre, Inc., employs the equity method to account for this investment. The following account balances are for the year ending December 31, 2018, for both companies.

At year-end, there were no intra-entity receivables or payables.

Using the acquisition method, prepare the worksheet to consolidate these two companies. (For accounts where multiple consolidation entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet. Amounts in the Debit and Credit columns should be entered as positive. Negative amounts for the Noncontrolling Interest and Consolidated Totals columns should be entered with a minus sign.)

The Holtz Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Devine, Inc., for $6.70 per share on January 1, 2017. The remaining 20 percent of Devine’s shares also traded actively at $6.70 per share before and after Holtz’s acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Devine’s underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year future life was undervalued by $57,000 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $69,000 fair value. At the acquisition date, Devine reported common stock of $100,000 and a retained earnings balance of $224,000.

Following are the separate financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018:

At year-end, there were no intra-entity receivables or payables.

1. Prepare a worksheet to consolidate these two companies as of December 31, 2018.

2. Prepare a 2018 consolidated income statement for Holtz and Devine.

3. If instead the noncontrolling interest shares of Devine had traded for $4.50 surrounding Holtz’s acquisition date, what is the impact on goodwill?

On January 1, 2017, Palka, Inc., acquired 70 percent of the outstanding shares of Sellinger Company for $1,274,000 in cash. The price paid was proportionate to Sellinger’s total fair value, although at the acquisition date, Sellinger had a total book value of $1,540,000. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed had fair values equal to book values except for a patent (six-year remaining life) that was undervalued on Sellinger’s accounting records by $270,000. On January 1, 2018, Palka acquired an additional 25 percent common stock equity interest in Sellinger Company for $512,500 in cash. On its internal records, Palka uses the equity method to account for its shares of Sellinger.

During the two years following the acquisition, Sellinger reported the following net income and dividends:

1. Show Palka’s journal entry to record its January 1, 2018, acquisition of an additional 25 percent ownership of Sellinger Company shares.

2. Prepare a schedule showing Palka’s December 31, 2018, equity method balance for its Investment in Sellinger account.

Troy Engines, Ltd., manufactures a variety of engines for use in heavy equipment. The company has always produced all of the necessary parts for its engines, including all of the carburetors. An outside supplier has offered to sell one type of carburetor to Troy Engines, Ltd., for a cost of $39 per unit. To evaluate this offer, Troy Engines, Ltd., has gathered the following information relating to its own cost of producing the carburetor internally:

*One-third supervisory salaries; two-thirds depreciation of special equipment (no resale value).

Required:

1. Assuming the company has no alternative use for the facilities that are now being used to produce the carburetors, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

2. Should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

3. Suppose that if the carburetors were purchased, Troy Engines, Ltd., could use the freed capacity to launch a new product. The segment margin of the new product would be $210,000 per year. Given this new assumption, what would be the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 21,000 carburetors from the outside supplier?

4. Given the new assumption in requirement 3, should the outside supplier’s offer be accepted?

Destin Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Destin has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: Sand Dollar, Salty Dog, and Baytowne. Destin opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.

In its current year assessment of goodwill, Destin provides the following individual asset and liability values for each reporting unit:

The fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $708,700 for Sand Dollar, $699,650 for Salty Dog, and $716,800 for Baytowne. To date, Destin has reported no goodwill impairments.

1. Determine which of Destin’s reporting units require both steps to test for goodwill impairment.

2. How much goodwill impairment should Destin report this year?

What are some benchmarks that can be used in determining program effectiveness in the case of a high school? Please be specific.

Please help me out with this question. I need assistance on this. See what is written below in order to answer the question.

Gathering Evidential Data

Performance auditors can gather evidential data in a variety of ways, enabling them to assess whether the control system is working effectively (causing the entity to achieve its goals and objectives), to operate efficiently, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations. These are the more significant techniques used by performance auditors:

● Interviewing

● Analyzing records

● Analyzing routine operating reports

● Analyzing performance measurement reports

● Making physical observations

● Role-playing

● Making comparative analyses within the entity and with other entities

● Sampling

The nature of the audit situation dictates the particular technique that an auditor will use, and more than one technique may be applied to reach a conclusion about a particular activity. Some audit techniques are more reliable than others, and some are more time-consuming than others. Using the computer to analyze data is cost-effective because it allows you to examine a mass a data and quickly to isolate deviations from the norm for more detailed review. Making physical observations and role-playing are very reliable methods of gathering evidence because records can be altered, whereas physical observations and role-playing allow auditors to see for themselves what is actually happening at the audited activity. Comparative analysis is useful because it may provide objective criteria and evidence of "best practices" for assessment purposes.
