On November 1, 2017, Blue Company adopted a stock-option plan that granted options to key executives to purchase 30,000 shares of the company’s $10 par value common stock. The options were granted on January 2, 2018, and were exercisable 2 years after the date of grant if the grantee was still an employee of the company. The options expired 6 years from date of grant. The option price was set at $30, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the total compensation expense to be $450,000. All of the options were exercised during the year 2020: 20,000 on January 3 when the market price was $69, and 10,000 on May 1 when the market price was $78 a share. Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Assume that the employee performs services equally in 2018 and 2019.

During the 2019–20 period, the following transactions occurred.

(a) Batman Ltd sold inventory to Robin Ltd for $90 000 at a profit before tax of $18 000. At 30 June 2020, inventory which was sold to Robin Ltd for $37 500 at a profit before tax of $7 500 was still on hand in the records of Robin Ltd.

A.   Prepare the acquisition analysis and journals at 1 July 2019.

Placid Lake Corporation acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2020, when Scenic had a net book value of $410,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $4,000 per year.

Placid Lake's 2021 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $310,000. Scenic reported net income of $120,000. Placid Lake declared $110,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $41,000. At the end of 2021, selected figures from the two companies' balance sheets were as follows:

During 2020, intra-entity sales of $80,000 (original cost of $44,000) were made. Only 10 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2020. In 2021, $100,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $60,000. Of this merchandise, 20 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.

Each of the following questions should be considered as an independent situation for the year 2021.

1. What is consolidated net income for Placid Lake and its subsidiary?

2. If the intra-entity sales were upstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and noncontrolling interest?

3. If the intra-entity sales were downstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and noncontrolling interest?

4. What is the consolidated balance in the ending Inventory account?

5. Assume that no intra-entity inventory sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, in 2020, Scenic sold land costing $31,000 to Placid Lake for $52,000. On the 2021 consolidated balance sheet, what value should be reported for land?

1. f-1. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $110,000 but had a $61,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $82,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2021, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer?

2. f-2. Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2020, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $110,000 but had a $61,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $82,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. For 2021, what is the noncontrolling interest’s share of Scenic’s net income?

6. (1) A 13 weeks T-bill with a face value of $100,000 was sold at an annual interest rate of 3% on Monday, August 31. If you purchase it on August 31, how much was the purchase price?

2. If you hold the T-bill until maturity (November 30,2020), how much will you receive from U.S. Treasury department on maturity date? How much is your annual effective interest rate?

How much is the annual effective interest rate you earned from holding the T-bill for 4 weeks? Will you be better off to sell the T-bill on that day or hold it until maturity? Why?
