On January 1, 2016, Monica Company acquired 70 percent of Young Company’s outstanding common stock for $658,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $282,000. Young reported stockholders’ equity accounts on that date as follows:

Common stock—$10 par value $ 300,000
Additional paid-in capital 40,000
Retained earnings 460,000

In establishing the acquisition value, Monica appraised Young's assets and ascertained that the accounting records undervalued a building (with a five-year remaining life) by $40,000. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was allocated to a franchise agreement to be amortized over 10 years.

During the subsequent years, Young sold Monica inventory at a 30 percent gross profit rate. Monica consistently resold this merchandise in the year of acquisition or in the period immediately following. Transfers for the three years after this business combination was created amounted to the following:

Year Transfer Price Inventory Remaining
at Year-End
(at transfer price)
2016 $ 70,000 $ 15,000
2017 90,000 17,000
2018 100,000 23,000

In addition, Monica sold Young several pieces of fully depreciated equipment on January 1, 2017, for $41,000. The equipment had originally cost Monica $60,000. Young plans to depreciate these assets over a 5-year period.

In 2018, Young earns a net income of $190,000 and declares and pays $50,000 in cash dividends. These figures increase the subsidiary's Retained Earnings to a $790,000 balance at the end of 2018.

Monica employs the equity method of accounting. Hence, it reports $127,340 investment income for 2018 with an Investment account balance of $821,770. Under these circumstances, prepare the worksheet entries required for the consolidation of Monica Company and Young Company. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)

On January 1, 2013, Plano Company acquired 8 percent (25,600 shares) of the outstanding voting shares of the Sumter Company for $460,800, an amount equal to Sumter’s underlying book and fair value. Sumter declares and pays a cash dividend to its stockholders each year of $160,000 on September 15. Sumter reported net income of $389,000 in 2013, $461,200 in 2014, $510,000 in 2015, and $485,600 in 2016. Each income figure can be assumed to have been earned evenly throughout its respective year. In addition, the fair value of these 25,600 shares was indeterminate, and therefore the investment account remained at cost.

     On January 1, 2015, Plano purchased an additional 32 percent (102,400 shares) of Sumter for $2,156,150 in cash and began to use the equity method. This price represented a $60,750 payment in excess of the book value of Sumter’s underlying net assets. Plano was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by Sumter with a 15-year remaining life. All other assets were considered appropriately valued on Sumter’s books.

     On July 1, 2016, Plano sold 10 percent (32,000 shares) of Sumter’s outstanding shares for $992,000 in cash. Although it sold this interest, Plano maintained the ability to significantly influence Sumter’s decision-making process. Assume that Plano uses a weighted average costing system.


Prepare the journal entries for Plano for the years of 2013 through 2016.

Sue is a customer account representative for ABC Company. She recently acquired several new accounts when a previous representative, Dan, took an early retirement. Sue reviewed each of Dan’s accounts to help familiarize herself with his clients and under- stand how she can better serve each one’s individual needs. As she was reviewing the client list, she found a major customer she had never heard of before. Surprised that she had not yet done business with the company, she called it to introduce herself as the new representative. When Sue placed the call, she found that the reported number had been disconnected. Thinking that the customer may have done business with ABC in the past and have moved on, she reviewed the account transactions and found that the most recent transaction had taken place the week prior. During her review, she also noticed the latest transaction was for an unusually large amount for ABC. As Sue pursued her curiosity, she went to other employees to find out more about the company. In her questioning, she found that none of the employees had ever heard of the customer. Once she had run out of other avenues, Sue decided to contact the controller to find out if he could provide any additional information. When Sue opened the company directory, she was amazed  when she recognized his home address: it was the same address as the mystery customer!


1. What are some of the possible scenarios for why the addresses match?
2. What other symptoms would be present in each of the scenarios you identified in part (1)?
3. What are the implications of the address match if the company is private? If the company was pub- licly traded?
4. Assuming the company was preparing for an IPO, who should Sue contact, and what should she say? 5. If Sue believes these revenues are fictitious, what
should her next course of action be?
