On December 31, Pacifica, Inc., acquired 100 percent of the voting stock of Seguros Company. Pacifica will maintain Seguros as a wholly owned subsidiary with its own legal and accounting identity. The consideration transferred to the owner of Seguros included 50,000 newly issued Pacifica common shares ($20 market value, $5 par value) and an agreement to pay an additional $130,000 cash if Seguros meets certain project completion goals by December 31 of the following year. Pacifica estimates a 50 percent probability that Seguros will be successful in meeting these goals and uses a 4 percent discount rate to represent the time value of money.

Immediately prior to the acquisition, the following data for both firms were available:

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.)

Perez Manufacturing Company (PMC) was started when it acquired $92,000 by issuing common stock. During the first year of operations, the company incurred specifically identifiable product costs (materials, labor, and overhead) amounting to $57,200. PMC also incurred $70,400 of engineering design and planning costs. There was a debate regarding how the design and planning costs should be classified. Advocates of Option 1 believe that the costs should be classified as general, selling, and administrative costs. Advocates of Option 2 believe it is more appropriate to classify the design and planning costs as product costs. During the year, PMC made 4,400 units of product and sold 3,600 units at a price of $39.00 each. All transactions were cash transactions.

Required

1. a-1. Prepare a GAAP-based income statement and balance sheet under option 1.

2. a-2. Prepare a GAAP-based income statement and balance sheet under option 2.

3. b. Identify the option that results in financial statements that are more likely to leave a favorable impression on investors and creditors.

4. c. Assume that PMC provides an incentive bonus to the company president equal to 12 percent of net income. Compute the amount of the bonus under each of the two options. Identify the option that provides the president with the higher bonus.

5. d. Assume a 40 percent income tax rate. Determine the amount of income tax expense under each of the two options. Identify the option that minimizes the amount of the company’s income tax expense.

What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment? Determine the remeasurement gain or loss to be reported in Stephanie’s 2017 consolidated net income, assuming that the U.S. dollar is the functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this remeasurement gain or loss?

To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $295,000 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.

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.
2. To verify the answers found in part (a), prepare a worksheet to consolidate the balance sheets of these two companies as of January 1, 2021.

On January 1, 2017, Ridge Road Company acquired 25 percent of the voting shares of Sauk Trail, Inc., for $3,500,000 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:

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 four-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:

1. How much of Ridge Road's $3,500,000 payment for Sauk Trail is attributable to goodwill?

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