On December 18, 2017, Stephanie Corporation acquired 100 percent of a Swiss company for 4.0 million Swiss francs (CHF), which is indicative of book and fair value. At the acquisition date, the exchange rate was $1.00 = CHF 1.

Albuquerque, Inc., acquired 24,000 shares of Marmon Company several years ago for $780,000. At the acquisition date, Marmon reported a book value of $800,000, and Albuquerque assessed the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at $32,500. Any excess of acquisition-date fair value over book value was assigned to broadcast licenses with indefinite lives. Since the acquisition date and until this point, Marmon has issued no additional shares. No impairment has been recognized for the broadcast licenses.

At the present time, Marmon reports $820,000 as total stockholders’ equity, which is broken down as follows:

Common stock ($14 par value) $ 350,000
Additional paid-in capital 360,000
Retained earnings 110,000
Total $ 820,000

View the following as independent situations:

  1. a. & b. Marmon sells 15,000 and 7,000 shares of previously unissued common stock to the public for $40 and $20 per share. Albuquerque purchased none of this stock. What journal entry should Albuquerque make to recognize the impact of this stock transaction?

On January 1, 2018, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $265,000 in long-term liabilities and 20,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Marshall paid $29,500 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $14,500 in connection with stock issuance costs.

Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows:

Marshall Company

Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0
Retained earnings, 1/1/18 (599,600 ) (394,100 )

Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.

In Marshall’s appraisal of Tucker, it deemed three accounts to be undervalued on the subsidiary’s books: Inventory by $5,000, Land by $14,400, and Buildings by $25,000. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary.

In preparing the postacquisition balance sheet, any required adjustments to income accounts from the acquisition should be closed to Marshall’s retained earnings. Other accounts will also need to be added or adjusted to reflect the journal entries Marshall prepared in recording the acquisition.

On January 1, 2017, Corgan Company acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Smashing, Inc., for a total of $1,560,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Smashing had common stock of $900,000, retained earnings of $450,000, and a noncontrolling interest fair value of $390,000. Corgan attributed the excess of fair value over Smashing's book value to various covenants with a 20-year remaining life. Corgan uses the equity method to account for its investment in Smashing.

During the next two years, Smashing reported the following:

Net Income Dividends Declared Inventory Purchases from Corgan
2017 $ 350,000 $ 55,000 $ 300,000
2018 330,000 65,000 320,000

Corgan sells inventory to Smashing using a 60 percent markup on cost. At the end of 2017 and 2018, 40 percent of the current year purchases remain in Smashing's inventory.

On January 1, 2019 Roberts Corporation acquired 100% of the outstanding voting stock of Williams Company in exchange for $726,000 cash. At that time, although Williams book value was $560,000, Roberts assessed Williams total business fair value as $726,000.

The book values of Williams individual assets and liabilities approximated their acquisition-date fair values except for the equipment account which was undervalued by $100,000.
