Belden, Inc. acquires 30 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Sheffield, Inc. on January 1, 2017, for $306,000, which gives Belden the ability to significantly influence Sheffield. Sheffield has a net book value of $784,000 at January 1, 2017. 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. The copyright had a remaining life of 16 years at January 1, 2017. No goodwill resulted from Belden's share purchase. Sheffield reported net income of $182,000 in 2017 and $244,000 of net income during 2018. Dividends of $64,000 and $90,000 are declared and paid in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Belden uses the equity method. On its 2018 comparative income statements, how much income would Belden report for 2017 and 2018 in connection with the company's investment in Sheffield? If Belden sells its entire investment in Sheffield on January 1, 2019, for $412,000 cash, what is the impact on Belden's income? Assume that Belden sells inventory to Sheffield during 2017 and 2018 as follows. What amount of equity income should Belden recognize for the year 2018?

Recent plan activity is as follows:

The following two tables are used in all the following questions. Thus, part of the following questions involve determining exactly what you need for each question. Please assume that for GDP calculations, only two things are produced in this economy: houses (a good) and dog walking (a service). Please ignore coffee for the GDP calculations. Also, assume that 2018 is the base year for GDP calculations. The base year for the CPI is not given.

Year Houses Produced (millions) Average House Price Dogs Walked (millions) Average Dog Walking Fee
2018 1.00 $200,000 1,000 $25.00
2019 1.01 $208,000 1,010 $25.10
Year Nominal price of a cup of coffee CPI CPI Market Basket Nominal interest rate on a car loan
1989 $1.70 180 $28,800 5%

2018 $1.98 245 $39,200 5%
2019 $2.00 250 $40,000 6%

1. How much did the real price of coffee change from 2018 to 2019?
2. Without making a calculation, which did you think increased more from 2018 to 2019 -- real or nominal GDP? Why?
3. Convert the nominal price of coffee from 1989 to 2019 prices.
4. What was the economy's growth rate from 2018 to 2019?
5. Given the data in these tables, can you compute the value of the market basket in the base year of the CPI?
6. What was the economy's inflation rate from 2018 to 2019?

2017 $130,000

2. On January 1, 2017, equipment costing $600,000 is purchased. For financial reporting purposes, the company uses straight-line depreciation over a 5-year life. For tax purposes, the company uses the elective straight-line method over a 5-year life. (Hint: For tax purposes, the half-year convention as discussed in Appendix 11A must be used.)
3. In January 2018, $225,000 is collected in advance rental of a building for a 3-year period. The entire $225,000 is reported as taxable income in 2018, but $150,000 of the $225,000 is reported as unearned revenue in 2018 for financial reporting purposes. The remaining amount of unearned revenue is to be recognized equally in 2019 and 2020.
4. The tax rate is 40% in 2017 and all subsequent periods. (Hint: To find taxable income in 2017 and 2018, the related income taxes payable amounts will have to be “grossed up.”)

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 A: Prepare all journal entries related to the investment for 2018, assuming Johnson uses the equity method to account for acquisition.

Show your work representing the development and allocation of the consideration paid.

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. Keep in mind the new rules associated with investments in stock instruments – must be treated as trading securities, effective 2018.
