A CEO is considering buying an insurance policy to cover possible losses incurred by marketing a new product. If the product is a complete failure, a loss of $450,000 would be incurred; if it is a moderately failure, a loss of $150,000 would be incurred; if it is only minor failure, a loss of $50,000 would be incurred. Insurance actuaries have determined that the probabilities that the product will be a failure or only moderately successful are 0.005, 0.056 and 0.153, respectively.

  1. Assuming that the CEO is willing to ignore all other possible losses, what premium should the insurance company charge for a policy in order to have a profit of $5,000.
  2. What is the variance of the profit, if there are 10 similar cases similar to this one?

On January 1, 2019, Monica Company acquired 80 percent of Young Company’s outstanding common stock for $888,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $222,000. Young reported stockholders’ equity accounts on that date as follows:

Common stock—$10 par value $ 300,000
Additional paid-in capital 70,000
Retained earnings 630,000

In establishing the acquisition value, Monica appraised Young's assets and ascertained that the accounting records undervalued a building (with a five-year remaining life) by $90,000. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was allocated to a franchise agreement to be amortized over 10 years.

During the subsequent years, Young sold Monica inventory at a 20 percent gross profit rate. Monica consistently resold this merchandise in the year of acquisition or in the period immediately following. Transfers for the three years after this business combination was created amounted to the following:

Year Transfer Price Inventory Remaining
at Year-End
(at transfer price)
2019 $ 30,000 $ 32,000
2020 50,000 34,000
2021 60,000 40,000

In addition, Monica sold Young several pieces of fully depreciated equipment on January 1, 2020, for $58,000. The equipment had originally cost Monica $94,000. Young plans to depreciate these assets over a 5-year period.

In 2021, Young earns a net income of $200,000 and declares and pays $65,000 in cash dividends. These figures increase the subsidiary's Retained Earnings to a $960,000 balance at the end of 2021.

Monica employs the equity method of accounting. Hence, it reports $154,640 investment income for 2021 with an Investment account balance of $1,062,800. Prepare the worksheet entries required for the consolidation of Monica Company and Young Company. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
