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 58,430 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:

Total liabilities and equities $ (2,786,000 ) $ (1,042,000 )

In addition, Pacifica assessed a research and development project under way at Seguros to have a fair value of $137,000. Although not yet recorded on its books, Pacifica paid legal fees of $20,400 in connection with the acquisition and $10,200 in stock issue costs.

a. Prepare Pacifica’s entries to account for the consideration transferred to the former owners of Seguros, the direct combination costs, and the stock issue and registration costs.(Use a 0.961538 present value factor where applicable. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b.&c. Present a worksheet showing the postacquisition column of accounts for Pacifica and the consolidated balance sheet as of the acquisition date.

(For accounts where multiple consolidation entries are required, combine all debit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the debit column of the worksheet. Similarly, combine all credit entries into one amount and enter this amount in the credit column of the worksheet. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

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. On December 18, 2017, the book and fair values of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities were:

Cash CHF 820,000
Inventory 1,320,000
Property, plant & equipment 4,020,000
Notes payable (2,140,000 )

Stephanie prepares consolidated financial statements on December 31, 2017. By that date, the Swiss franc has appreciated to $1.10 = CHF 1. Because of the year-end holidays, no transactions took place prior to consolidation.

  1. Determine the translation adjustment to be reported on Stephanie’s December 31, 2017, consolidated balance sheet, assuming that the Swiss franc is the Swiss subsidiary’s functional currency. What is the economic relevance of this translation adjustment?

  2. 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?

Solomon Manufacturing Company was started on January 1, 2018, when it acquired $80,000 cash by issuing common stock. Solomon immediately purchased office furniture and manufacturing equipment costing $9,100 and $33,100, respectively. The office furniture had an eight-year useful life and a zero salvage value. The manufacturing equipment had a $3,500 salvage value and an expected useful life of four years. The company paid $11,300 for salaries of administrative personnel and $15,600 for wages to production personnel. Finally, the company paid $13,000 for raw materials that were used to make inventory. All inventory was started and completed during the year. Solomon completed production on 4,800 units of product and sold 3,880 units at a price of $15 each in 2018. (Assume that all transactions are cash transactions and that product costs are computed in accordance with GAAP.)

On January 1, 2021, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $310,000 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 $24,000 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $9,000 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 $ 75,000 $ 38,800 Receivables 354,000 90,000 Inventory 380,000 229,000 Land 246,000 253,000 Buildings (net) 476,000 274,000 Equipment (net) 174,000 50,400 Accounts payable (241,000 ) (41,400 ) Long-term liabilities (480,000 ) (310,000 ) Common stock—$1 par value (110,000 ) Common stock—$20 par value (120,000 ) Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0 Retained earnings, 1/1/21 (514,000 ) (463,800 ) 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 $9,000, Land by $25,800, and Buildings by $32,200. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary. 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. 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.

Badbug makes Viral Memes which sell for $1,000 each.   The production process is fairly simple and involves tweaking components purchased from various suppliers.  Since each Viral Meme only takes one hour to assemble, there is essentially no work-in-process inventory.  

Badbug has the capacity to make 2,000 Viral Memes per year.

Costs for the Viral Meme components are:

Primary GIF

$100

Secondary GIF

20

JPEGs

Each meme should take one hour of direct labor to tweak.  Direct labor wages are $150 per hour.

Other manufacturing costs on a monthly basis are:

Factory Rent

$1,000

Factory Insurance

5,000

Factory Utilities

200

Factory Miscellaneous

Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $4 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2018. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2018 and 2019.
Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2017 at a cost of $56 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method assuming a four-year useful life.
