Question

On January 1, 20X9, Pallet Company acquires 80 percent ownership in Slat Corporation for $200,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that time is determined to be $50,000. Slat reports net assets with a book value of $250,000 and fair value of $250,000. Pallet Company reports net assets with a book value of $600,000 and a fair value of $650,000 at that time, excluding its investment in Slat. What will be the amount of consolidated net assets that would be reported immediately after the combination?

Answer 1

Answer:

Consolidated Assets 850,000

Explanation:

We need to calcualte the alue of the purchased portion of Slat.

total assets - non-controlled = proportional owned assets

250,000 - 50,000 = 200,000

The consolidated net assets would be:

Pallet Company 650,000

Slat Company    250,000

non-controlling    (50,000)

Consolidated Assets 850,000
