77julia77 [94]

Answer:

qualified acquisition debt = $750,000

qualified home equity debt = $0

Explanation:

Qualified acquisition debt refers to the debt incurred to purchase or build your home. In this case, Cary and Bill are allowed to itemize the interests paid for up to $750,000 of the acquisition debt ($375,000 if filing separately). This limit was reduced due to the TCJA of 2017, and will remain in place until 2025. After 2025, the limit will return to the normal $1,000,000.

Certain amount of interests on qualified home equity loans will also return in 2025, but currently they are not deductible.

b. See the journal entries in the explanation below.

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Capital Reserve is $4,000

Explanation:

Note: There are mistakes the names of the companies in the requirements a anb b. These correctly restated before answering the question by as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $291,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $262,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry.

2. Record the excess value (differential) reclassification entry.

<u>The answers and explanation are therefore given as follows:</u>

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $291,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.1)                    175,000

Goodwill (w.2)                                    25,000  

     Investment in Scrub Company                           291,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

Goodwill to be recognized                                            <u>      25,000  </u>

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $262,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.3)                    175,000

     Investment in Scrub Company                           262,000

     Capital reserve (w.4)                                                4,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.

The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.

When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.
