On January 1, 2020, Panther, Inc., issued securities with a total fair value of $577,000 for 100 percent of Stark Corporation’s outstanding ownership shares. Stark has long supplied inventory to Panther. The companies expect to achieve synergies with production scheduling and product development with this combination.

Although Stark’s book value at the acquisition date was $300,000, the fair value of its trademarks was assessed to be $45,000 more than their carrying amounts. Additionally, Stark’s patented technology was undervalued in its accounting records by $232,000. The trademarks were considered to have indefinite lives, and the estimated remaining life of the patented technology was eight years.

In 2020, Stark sold Panther inventory costing $75,000 for $125,000. As of December 31, 2020, Panther had resold 74 percent of this inventory. In 2021, Panther bought from Stark $140,000 of inventory that had an original cost of $70,000. At the end of 2021, Panther held $38,000 (transfer price) of inventory acquired from Stark, all from its 2021 purchases.

During 2021, Panther sold Stark a parcel of land for $88,000 and recorded a gain of $16,000 on the sale. Stark still owes Panther $62,000 (current liability) related to the land sale.

At the end of 2021, Panther and Stark prepared the following statements for consolidation.

1. Show how Panther computed its $39,000 equity in Stark’s earnings balance.

2. Prepare a 2021 consolidated worksheet for Panther and Stark.

Bonita Ranch & Farm is a distributor of ranch and farm equipment. Its products include small tools, power equipment for trench-digging and fencing, grain dryers, and barn winches. Most products are sold direct via its company Internet site. However, given some of its specialty products, select farm implement stores carry Bonita’s products. Pricing and cost information on three of Bonita’s most popular products are as follows.

Respond to the requirements related to the following independent revenue arrangements for Bonita Ranch & Farm. IFRS is a constraint.

1. On January 1, 2020, Bonita sells augers to Mills Farm & Fleet for $52,800. Mills signs a six-month note at an annual interest rate of 12%. Bonita allows Mills to return any auger that it cannot use within 60 days and receive a full refund. Based on prior experience, Bonita estimates that 5% of units sold to customers like Mills will be returned (using the most likely outcome approach). Bonita’s costs to recover the products will be immaterial, and the returned augers are expected to be resold at a profit. Prepare the journal entries for Bonita on January 1, 2020.

2.On August 10, 2020, Bonita sells 17 mini-trenchers to a farm co-op in western Canada. Bonita provides a 4% volume discount on the mini-trenchers if the co-op has a 15% increase in purchases from Bonita compared with the prior year. Given the slowdown in the farm economy, sales to the co-op have been flat, and it is highly uncertain that the benchmark will be met.

3. Bonita sells three grain/hay dryers to a local farmer at a total contract price of $50,000. In addition to the dryers, Bonita provides installation, which has a stand-alone sales value of $1,020 per unit installed. The contract payment also includes a $1,530 maintenance plan for the dryers for three years after installation. Bonita signs the contract on June 20, 2020, and receives a 20% down payment from the farmer. The dryers are delivered and installed on October 1, 2020, and full payment is made to Bonita.

Prepare the journal entries for Bonita in 2020 related to this arrangement as well as any adjusting journal entries at its December year end

4. On April 25, 2020, Bonita ships 110 augers to Farm Depot, a farm supply dealer in Alberta, on consignment. By June 30, 2020, Farm Depot has sold 70 of the consigned augers at the listed price of $1,320 per unit. Farm Depot notifies Bonita of the sales, retains a 8% commission, and remits the cash due to Bonita.

Entity A is a listed company that operates the cruise ship business. One of the cruise ships was purchased on 1 Oct 2011. This cruise ship is made up of three main components: (1) cruise’s fabric, (2) cabins and entertainment area and (3) fittings propulsion system.

Details of the cost of its components and their estimated useful lives are as below:

Components Original cost Depreciation basis

(1) Cruise’s fabric (hull, decks, etc.) HK$37,500,000 50 years straight-line

(2) Cabins and entertainment area fittings HK$18,750,000 15 years straight-line

(3) Propulsion system HK$12,500,000 useful life of 80,000 hours

On 30 Sep 2019, no further capital expenditure had been incurred on the cruise ship.

In the year ended 30 Sep 2019, the cruise had experienced a high level of engine trouble, which had cost Entity A considerable revenue loss and compensation costs.  The measured expired life of the propulsion system on 30 Sep 2019 was 50,000 hours. Due to the unreliability of the engines, a decision was made by Entity A on 1 Oct 2019 to replace the whole of the propulsion system at a cost of HK$17,500,000. The old propulsion system was also sold to a second-hand machinery shop with a loss on disposal of $4,250,000. The cash from the disposal was received on 20 Oct 2019.  The expected life of the new propulsion system was 160,000 hours and in the year ended 30 Sep 2020, the cruise had used its engines for 10,000 hours.

At the same time as the propulsion system replacement, Entity A took this opportunity to upgrade the cabin and entertainment facilities at a cost of HK$7,500,000 and repaint the cruise’s fabric at a cost of HK$2,500,000 respectively. After the upgrade of the cabin and entertainment area fittings, it was estimated that their remaining useful life was 10 years.

For calculating depreciation, all the works on the cruise can be assumed to have been completed on 1 Oct 2019. All residual values can be taken as NIL.

Windsor Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Windsor and is its current president. The company has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2021, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $34,970 notes, which are due on June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. Another note of $5,970 is due on March 31, 2022, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date. Brown explained that Windsor’s cash flow problems are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $300,080 plant expansion over the next 2 fiscal years through internally generated funds.

The commercial loan officer of Topeka National Bank requested the following financial reports for the last 2 fiscal years.
