Answer:

C) The difference between selling price and carrying value is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

Explanation:

US GAAP requires that when a company acquires another company it must record the transaction using the acquisition method. The purchasing company must record the value for:

  1. tangible assets and liabilities that were acquired
  2. intangible assets and liabilities that were acquired
  3. noncontrolling interest in the acquired business
  4. consideration paid to the seller
  5. goodwill or gain on the transaction

Since the question focuses on realized gain or loss, we will skip the first four elements. Goodwill would be considered a loss since it represents the amount of money paid in excess of the company's fair market value. A gain would equal a negative goodwill.

  • goodwill = acquisition price + noncontrolling interest - identifiable assets acquired  + identifiable liabilities acquired

In this case, since the buyer (Jax Company) decided to sell back stocks to Saxton Company, there is no more acquisition. But you can still determine if the operation resulted in a gain or a loss. The way you can do this is by taking the sale price of the stocks repurchased by Saxton and subtracting the carrying value of those stocks. Probably Jax used the acquisition method because its original intention was to purchase Saxton, but things happen and it couldn't be done.

Colorado Mountain Mining paid $ 896,900 for the right to extract mineral assets from a 500,000​-ton deposit. In addition to the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

(a) The asset would be recorded in accordance to IAS 16 Property, plant & equipment.

Dr  Mining Asset   896,900

Cr       Bank                     896,900

(b) IAS 16 says that the costs incurred to make the asset ready for use must be capitalized as part of the asset. This means the license fee $1000 filing fee, License fee $2100 and $50,000 amount paid for geological survey must be capitalized. So the entry is as under:

Dr Mining asset (1k+2.1k+50k) $53,100

Cr                      Bank                       $53,100

(c) This assets must be depreciated on the basis of tons of minerals extracted which is 60 thousands tons in the first year.

Depreciation Expense = (60k tons / 500k tons)   * (Total capitalized cost)

=(60,000/500,000) * (896,900+53,100) = $108,000

The Double entry of Depreciation Expense would be as under:

Dr Depreciation Expense  $108,000

Cr                Accumulating Depreciation  $108,000

Which of the following is NOT a basic assumption of perfect​ competition? A. Production is characterized by significant economie
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: Production is characterized by significant economies of scale is not an assumption of perfect competition (A)

Explanation:

A perfect competition is a form of market structure that has many buyers and may sellers. In a perfect competition, there is a free entry and exit for producers as there is no barrier.

Also, firms are price takers as no producer can influence the price of the goods in the market unlike in an imperfect competition which is a price maker as producers can influence price. Firms also sell identical products that are the same in quality, size etc.

In a perfect competition, production is not characterized by significant economies of scale. That is an assumption that can be found in monopoly.

Therefore, option A is the right answer.
