On January 1, 2016, Monica Company acquired 70 percent of Young Company’s outstanding common stock for $770,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $330,000.

Young reported stockholders’ equity accounts on that date as follows:

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 $80,000. 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 40 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:

In addition, Monica sold Young several pieces of fully depreciated equipment on January 1, 2017, for $57,000. The equipment had originally cost Monica $92,000. Young plans to depreciate these assets over a six-year period.

In 2018, Young earns a net income of $190,000 and declares and pays $60,000 in cash dividends. These figures increase the subsidiary's Retained Earnings to a $950,000 balance at the end of 2018. During this same year, Monica reported dividend income of $42,000 and an investment account containing the initial value balance of $770,000. No changes in Young's common stock accounts have occurred since Monica's acquisition.

1. Prepare the 2018 consolidation worksheet entries for Monica and Young.

2. Compute the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2018.

Tangerine Company acquired P3,000,000 face value 10% bonds as financial asset at amortized cost, on June 30, 2018 for P3,210,000, excluding brokerage of P150,000 and accrued interest. The bonds pay interest semiannually on May 1 and November 1. The remaining life of the bonds on the date of acquisition is 3 years. Straight-line amortization is employed. On December 31, 2018, the bonds were sold for P3,500,000 plus accrued interest. What is the gain on the sale of the bonds? Show a detailed computation.

On January 1, 2017, Stream Company acquired 27 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Q-Video, Inc., for $716,000. Q-Video manufactures specialty cables for computer monitors. On that date, Q-Video reported assets and liabilities with book values of $1.6 million and $800,000, respectively. A customer list compiled by Q-Video had an appraised value of $306,000, although it was not recorded on its books. The expected remaining life of the customer list was 5 years with a straight-line amortization deemed appropriate. Any remaining excess cost was not identifiable with any particular asset and thus was considered goodwill.

Q-Video generated net income of $304,000 in 2017 and a net loss of $112,000 in 2018. In each of these two years, Q-Video declared and paid a cash dividend of $18,000 to its stockholders.

During 2017, Q-Video sold inventory that had an original cost of $104,000 to Stream for $160,000. Of this balance, $80,000 was resold to outsiders during 2017, and the remainder was sold during 2018. In 2018, Q-Video sold inventory to Stream for $170,000. This inventory had cost only $136,000. Stream resold $100,000 of the inventory during 2018 and the rest during 2019.

For 2017 and then for 2018, compute the amount that Stream should report as income from its investment in Q-Video in its external financial statements under the equity method. (Enter your answers in whole dollars and not in millions. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

On January 1, 2017, Travers Company acquired 90 percent of Yarrow Company's outstanding stock for $918,000. The 10 percent noncontrolling interest had an assessed fair value of $102,000 on that date. Any acquisition-date excess fair value over book value was attributed to an unrecorded customer list developed by Yarrow with a remaining life of 15 years.

On the same date, Yarrow acquired an 80 percent interest in Stookey Company for $520,000. At the acquisition date, the 20 percent noncontrolling interest fair value was $130,000. Any excess fair value was attributed to a fully amortized copyright that had a remaining life of 10 years. Although both investments are accounted for using the initial value method, neither Yarrow nor Stookey have distributed dividends since the acquisition date. Travers has a policy to declare and pay cash dividends each year equal to 40 percent of its separate company operating earnings. Reported income totals for 2017 follow:

Following are the 2018 financial statements for these three companies. Stookey has transferred numerous amounts of inventory to Yarrow since the takeover amounting to $124,000 (2017) and $155,000 (2018). These transactions include the same markup applicable to Stookey's outside sales. In each year, Yarrow carried 20 percent of this inventory into the succeeding year before disposing of it. An effective tax rate of 40 percent is applicable to all companies. All dividend declarations are paid in the same period.

Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance.

Prepare the business combination's 2018 consolidation worksheet; ignore income tax effects.

Determine the amount of income tax for Travers and Yarrow on a consolidated tax return for 2018.

Determine the amount of Stookey's income tax on a separate tax return for 2018.
