Question

The fair values of all of Sirius's assets and liabilities were equal to their book values except for inventory that had a fair value of $85,000, land that had a fair value of $60,000, and buildings and equipment that had a fair value of $250,000. Buildings and equipment have a remaining useful life of 10 years with zero salvage value. Paradox Company decided to employ push-down accounting for the acquisition. Subsequent to the combination, Sirius continued to operate as a separate company. Based on the preceding information, what amount will be present in the revaluation capital account, when consolidating entries are prepared?

Answer 1

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

The fair value is the value above the book value. The financial statements are prepared at historic cost and when the value of assets rises a revaluation account is created to present financial statements accurate. The fair values of Sirius's assets are equal to book value and all assets are presented at cost or book value. There will be no revaluation charged to the consolidated statement.
