Question

On January 1, Jarel acquired 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Suarez for $260,000 cash consideration. The remaining 20 percent of Suarez had an acquisition-date fair value of $65,000. On January 1, Suarez possessed equipment (5-year life) that was undervalued on its books by $25,000. Suarez also had developed several secret formulas that Jarel assessed at $50,000. These formulas, although not recorded on Suarez’s financial records, were estimated to have a 20-year future life. As of December 31, the financial statements appeared as follows:Jarel Suarez Revenues $ (300,000 ) $ (200,000 ) Cost of goods sold 140,000 80,000 Expenses 20,000 10,000 Net income $ (140,000 ) $ (110,000 ) Retained earnings, 1/1 $ (300,000 ) $ (150,000 ) Net income (140,000 ) (110,000 ) Dividends declared 0 0 Retained earnings, 12/31 $ (440,000 ) $ (260,000 ) Cash and receivables $ 210,000 $ 90,000 Inventory 150,000 110,000 Investment in Suarez 260,000 0 Equipment (net) 440,000 300,000 Total assets $ 1,060,000 $ 500,000 Liabilities $ (420,000 ) $ (140,000 ) Common sWhat is the consolidated total of noncontrolling interest appearing on the balance sheet?$85,500.$70,500.$83,100.$87,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

$85,500

Step-by-step Explanation:

Step 1

Non-controlling interest of book value of net assets (January 1)

= Common stock (Jan 1) + Retained earnings (Jan 1)

= ($100,000 + $150,000) x 20%

= $50,000

Step 2

Fair value of net assets (Jan 1)

= Cash paid for 80% stock + Fair value of remaining 20% stock

= $260,000 + $65,000

= $325,000

Non-controlling portion of excess of assets' fair value over book value

= (Fair value - Book value) x 20%

= ($325,000 - $250,000) x 20%

= $15,000

Step 3

Amortization expense

= Amortization of undervalued equipment + Amortization on secret formulas

= ($25,000 / 5) + ($50,000 / 20)

= $7,500

Non-controlling portion of net income after adjusting for amortization

= ($110,000 - $7,500) x 20%

= $20,500

Step 4

Consolidated total of non-controlling interest

= $50,000 + $15,000 + $20,500

= $85,500
