Protrade Corporation acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Seacraft Company on January 1, 2017, for $440,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Protrade assessed Seacraft's identifiable assets and liabilities at a collective net fair value of $615,000 and the fair value of the 20 percent noncontrolling interest was $110,000. No excess fair value over book value amortization accompanied the acquisition.

The following selected account balances are from the individual financial records of these two companies as of December 31, 2018:

Protrade Seacraft
Sales $ 730,000 $ 450,000
Cost of goods sold 335,000 242,000
Operating expenses 159,000 114,000

Inventory 355,000 119,000
Buildings (net) 367,000 166,000
Investment income Not given 0


Each of the following problems is an independent situation:

a. Assume that Protrade sells Seacraft inventory at a markup equal to 60 percent of cost. Intra-entity transfers were $99,000 in 2017 and $119,000 in 2018. Of this inventory, Seacraft retained and then sold $37,000 of the 2017 transfers in 2018 and held $51,000 of the 2018 transfers until 2019.
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on consolidated financial statements for 2018:

b. Assume that Seacraft sells inventory to Protrade at a markup equal to 60 percent of cost. Intra-entity transfers were $59,000 in 2017 and $89,000 in 2018. Of this inventory, $30,000 of the 2017 transfers were retained and then sold by Protrade in 2018, whereas $44,000 of the 2018 transfers were held until 2019.
Determine balances for the following items that would appear on consolidated financial statements for 2018:

c. Protrade sells Seacraft a building on January 1, 2017, for $98,000, although its book value was only $59,000 on this date. The building had a five-year remaining life and was to be depreciated using the straight-line method with no salvage value.

On January 1, 2017, Corgan Company acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Smashing, Inc., for a total of $1,080,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Smashing had common stock of $780,000, retained earnings of $330,000, and a noncontrolling interest fair value of $270,000. 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 $ 230,000 $ 43,000 $ 180,000
2018 210,000 53,000 200,000

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.

Compute the equity method balance in Corgan's Investment in Smashing, Inc., account as of December 31, 2018.

On January 1, 2017, Ridge Road Company acquired 30 percent of the voting shares of Sauk Trail, Inc., for $4,700,000 in cash. Both companies provide commercial Internet support services but serve markets in different industries. Ridge Road made the investment to gain access to Sauk Trail's board of directors and thus facilitate future cooperative agreements between the two firms. Ridge Road quickly obtained several seats on Sauk Trail's board which gave it the ability to significantly influence Sauk Trail's operating and investing activities.

The January 1, 2017, carrying amounts and corresponding fair values for Sauk Trail's assets and liabilities follow:

Carrying Amount Fair Value
Cash and receivables $ 210,000 $ 210,000
Computing equipment 5,900,000 7,300,000
Patented technology 200,000 4,200,000
Trademark 250,000 2,200,000
Liabilities (285,000 ) (285,000 )

Also as of January 1, 2017, Sauk Trail's computing equipment had a seven-year remaining estimated useful life. The patented technology was estimated to have a three-year remaining useful life. The trademark's useful life was considered indefinite. Ridge Road attributed to goodwill any unidentified excess cost.

During the next two years, Sauk Trail reported the following net income and dividends:

Net Income Dividends Declared
2017 $ 2,000,000 $ 250,000
2018 2,185,000 260,000

How much of Ridge Road's $4,700,000 payment for Sauk Trail is attributable to goodwill?

What amount should Ridge Road report for its equity in Sauk Trail's earnings on its income statements for 2017 and 2018?

What amount should Ridge Road report for its investment in Sauk Trail on its balance sheets at the end of 2017 and 2018?

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 at $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. The undervalued equipment had a 5-year remaining life at the acquisition date. Any remaining excess fair value was attributed to goodwill.

Separate financial statements for both companies on December 31, 2019 are shown below:

Required:

1. Assuming that Roberts accounts for its investment in Williams using the equity method, prepare the general journal entries (i.e. "real entries") for the year ending December 31, 2019. When posted to t-accounts, these entries should allow you to "prove" both the investment in Williams and the Equity in Income of Williams (i.e. investment income) balances of $786,000 and $120,000, respectively, as shown on the statements above.

2. Next, prepare all of the necessary eliminating entries (i.e. "worksheet entries") needed at December 31, 2019 and prepare the necessary worksheet to consolidate the two companies as of December 31, 2019. Your worksheet should include the amounts which would be reported on the income statement and statement of retained earnings as well as the balance sheet.

3. Finally, assume that Williams earns net income of $180,000 and paid dividends of $50,000 during the following year (i.e. 2020). Repeat requirements 1 and 2 above for the year ending December 31, 2020. You are not required to prepare the worksheet for 2020.

Albuquerque, Inc., acquired 18,000 shares of Marmon Company several years ago for $750,000. At the acquisition date, Marmon reported a book value of $820,000, and Albuquerque assessed the fair value of the noncontrolling interest at $250,000. 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 $930,000 as total stockholders’ equity, which is broken down as follows:

Common stock ($10 par value) $ 240,000

Additional paid-in capital 380,000

Retained earnings 310,000

Total $ 930,000

View the following as independent situations: a. & b. Marmon sells 6,000 and 3,000 shares of previously unissued common stock to the public for $56 and $27 per share. Albuquerque purchased none of this stock.

1. What journal entry should Albuquerque make to recognize the impact of this stock transaction? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Do not round your intermediate calculations.)
