On January 2, 2018, Johnson Company paid $310 million to acquire 14,000,000 shares of Pets Corp. The investment represented 30% of the total shares outstanding of Pets Corp. and gave Johnson Company the ability to exert significant influence upon the operations of Pets Corp. During the year ended December 31, 2018, Pets Corp. paid dividends of $1.10 per share (declared and paid on November 12, 2018) and reported income of $245 million. The market value of Pets Corp. stock at December 31, 2018, was $24.50 per share. On the date of the acquisition the book value of Pets Corp. was $950 million and the fair value of the assets at that time were consistent with the book value except for Equipment which was undervalued by $40.0 million, with a remaining life of 10 years. Any excess fair value attributable to the acquisition (over cost of acquisition) was applied to goodwill.

Part B: Prepare all appropriate journal entries related to the investment for 2018, assuming that the purchase of the 14,000,000 shares only represented 10% of the outstanding stock of Pets Corp. and Johnson uses the fair value method to account for the acquisition.

Sheffield's asset and liability accounts showed carrying amounts considered equal to fair values except for a copyright whose value accounted for Belden's excess cost over book value in its 30 percent purchase.

Sheffield reported net income of $172,000 in 2017 and $250,000 of net income during 2018. Dividends of $96,000 and $92,000 are declared and paid in 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Please answer the following question,

On January 2, 2018, options to purchase 28,000 shares were granted to President Don Pedro: 15,000 for services to be rendered in 2018, and 13,000 for services to be rendered in 2019. Also on that date, options to purchase 14,000 shares were granted to Vice-President Beatrice Leonato: 7,000 for services to be rendered in 2018, and 7,000 for services to be rendered in 2019. The shares' market value was $14 a share on January 2, 2018. The options were exercisable for a period of one year following the year in which the services were rendered. On January 2, 2018, the value of the options was estimated at $400,000.

In 2019, neither the president nor the vice-president exercised their options because the shares' market price was below the exercise price. The shares' market value was $7 a share on December 31, 2019, when the options for 2018 services lapsed.

On December 31, 2020, both the president and vice-president exercised their options for 13,000 and 7,000 shares, respectively, when the market price was $16 a share. The company's year-end is December 31.

Instructions

1) Prepare the necessary journal entries in 2017 when the stock option plan was adopted, in 2018 when the options were granted, in 2019 when the options lapsed, and in 2020 when the options were exercised.
