Benson Manufacturing Company (CMC) was started when it acquired $99,000 by issuing common stock. During the first year of operations, the company incurred specifically identifiable product costs (materials, labor, and overhead) amounting to $64,400. CMC also incurred $64,400 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, CMC made 4,600 units of product and sold 3,700 units at a price of $39.00 each. All transactions were cash transactions.

Protrade Corporation acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Seacraft Company on January 1, 2017, for $367,500 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date, Protrade assessed Seacraft's identifiable assets and liabilities at a collective net fair value of $565,000 and the fair value of the 30 percent noncontrolling interest was $157,500. 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        680,000     400,000
Cost of Goods Sold        310,000     217,000
Operating Expenses        154,000     109,000
Retained Earnings, 1/1/18        780,000     220,000
Inventory        350,000     114,000
Buildings (net)        362,000     161,000
Investement Income not given -  

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 $94,000 in 2017 and $114,000 in 2018. Of this inventory, Seacraft retained and then sold $32,000 of the 2017 transfers in 2018 and held $46,000 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 $54,000 in 2017 and $84,000 in 2018. Of this inventory, $25,000 of the 2017 transfers were retained and then sold by Protrade in 2018, whereas $39,000 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 $88,000, although its book value was only $54,000 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. Determine balances for the following items that would appear on consolidated financial statements for 2018:

On January 1, 2018, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $260,000 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 $28,500 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $13,500 in connection with stock issuance costs.

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

Marshall Company
Book Value
Tucker Company
Book Value
Cash $ 87,900 $ 30,200
Receivables 283,000 124,000
Inventory 406,000 140,000
Land 290,000 252,000
Buildings (net) 491,000 227,000
Equipment (net) 163,000 68,100
Accounts payable (211,000 ) (42,000 )
Long-term liabilities (488,000 ) (260,000 )
Common stock—$1 par value (110,000 )
Common stock—$20 par value (120,000 )
Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0
Retained earnings, 1/1/18 (551,900 ) (419,300 )

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 $8,100, Land by $30,000, and Buildings by $34,600. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary.

  1. Determine the amounts that Marshall Company would report in its postacquisition balance sheet. 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, 2018.
