On January 1, 2016, Aronsen Company acquired 80 percent of Siedel Company’s outstanding shares. Siedel had a net book value on that date of $630,000: common stock ($14 par value) of $280,000 and retained earnings of $350,000.

Aronsen paid $640,000 for this investment. The acquisition-date fair value of the 20 percent noncontrolling interest was $160,000. The excess fair value over book value associated with the acquisition was used to increase land by $110,000 and to recognize copyrights (12-year remaining life) at $60,000. Subsequent to the acquisition, Aronsen applied the initial value method to its investment account.

In the 2016–2017 period, the subsidiary’s retained earnings increased by $180,000. During 2018, Siedel earned income of $88,000 while declaring $28,000 in dividends. Also, at the beginning of 2018, Siedel issued 5,000 new shares of common stock for $55 per share to finance the expansion of its corporate facilities. Aronsen purchased none of these additional shares and therefore recorded no entry.

Prepare the appropriate 2018 consolidation entries for these two companies.

Consolidation Working Paper, Noncontrolling Interest, Intercompany Merchandise Transactions

Kellogg Company (Kellogg's) acquired 80% of the outstanding stock of Wholesome & Hearty Foods ("Wholesome") at the end of 2007 for cash and stock totaling $144 million. Assume that Wholesome's assets and liabilities were fairly reported at the date of acquisition, except for these items:

(in thousands) Book Value Fair Value
Plant & Equipment, net (10-year life, straight-line) $180,000 $162,000
Secret cookie recipe (10-year life, straight-line) 0 30,000
Long-term debt (4-year life, straight-line) 36,000 40,800

Wholesome's book value at the date of acquisition was $82.8 million, and the fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest was $42 million. It is now December 31, 2013 (the end of the sixth year since acquisition). Impairment testing on the goodwill arising in this acquisition reveals that total impairment during 2008-2012 is $2.4 million, and impairment in 2013 is $1.2 million.

Wholesome sells merchandise and raw materials to Kellogg's at a markup of 30% on cost. Here is information on these intercompany sales (in thousands):

Inventory, January 1, 2013, reported on Kellogg's books $12,480
