Answer:
Goodwill 35,000 debit
Investment in Gates 25,000 credit
Retained Earnings 10,000 credit
--to adjust for change of method--
Explanation:
600,000 x 15% = 90,000
purchased at 105,000
<em>goodwill of 15,000</em>
<em />
+ 150,000 x 15% of net income = 22,500
- 50,000 x 15% dividends = (7,500)
<em>investment at the end of 2013:</em>
90,000 + 22,500 - 7,500 = 105,000
Then we purchase 25%
105,000 represent 15%
thus 25% would be: 105,000 / 0.15 x 0.25 = 175,000
purchased at 200,000
goodwill of 25,000 to be recognized.
So, equity method will be:
105,000 + 175,000 = 280,000 for the proportional equity
and 15,000 + 25,000 = 35,000 goodwill
Total of 315,000
While fair value will not recognize goodwill. and also, the investment is not modified when dividends and the gain for the year are delcared.
It measure at cost unless the market value of the stock decrease so we got:
105,000 1st purchase + 200,000 2nd purchase = 305,000
To adjust we are going to decrease investment by 25,000 and increase goodwill by 35,000 the other will go into retained earnings to balance out.
