Placid Lake’s 2015 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $300,000. Scenic reported net income of $110,000. Placid Lake declared $100,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $40,000. At the end of 2015, selected figures from the two companies’ balance sheets were as follows: Placid Lake Scenic Inventory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $140,000 $ 90,000 Land . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 600,000 200,000 Equipment (net) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 400,000 300,000 During 2014, intra-entity sales of $90,000 (original cost of $54,000) were made. Only 20 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2014. In 2015, $120,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $66,000. Of this merchandise, 30 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 2015. a.What is consolidated net income for Placid Lake and its subsidiary? b.If the intra-entity sales were upstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and noncontrolling interest? c.If the intra-entity sales were downstream, how would consolidated net income be allocated to the controlling and noncontrolling interest? d.What is the consolidated balance in the ending Inventory account? e.Assume that no intra-entity inventory sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, in 2014, Scenic sold land costing $30,000 to Placid Lake for $50,000. On the 2015 consolidated balance sheet, what value should be reported for land? f.Assume that no intra-entity inventory or land sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, on January 1, 2014, Scenic sold equipment (that originally cost $100,000 but had a $60,000 book value on that date) to Placid Lake for $80,000. At the time of sale, the equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. What worksheet entries are made for a December 31, 2015, consolidation of these two companies to eliminate the impact of the intra-entity transfer? For 2015, what is the noncontrolling interest’s share of Scenic’s net income?

a. How much joint cost should be allocated to Grade A and to Grade B lumber? b. If Grade A lumber is processed further and then sold, what is the incremental effect on Michigan Timber’s net income? Should the additional processing be performed?

Michigan Timber uses a joint process to manufacture two grades of wood: A and B. During October 2010, the company incurred $12,000,000 of joint production cost in producing 18,000,000 board feet of Grade A and 6,000,000 board feet of Grade B lumber. Th e company allocates joint cost on the basis of board feet of lumber produced. Th e company can sell Grade A lumber at the split-off point for $0.80 per board foot. Alternatively, Grade A lumber can be further processed at a cost of $0.75 per board foot and then sold for $1.90 per board foot. No opportunity exists for processing Grade B lumber after split-off.

a. How much joint cost should be allocated to Grade A and to Grade B lumber?
