Answer:

Part a

$55,000

Part b

Debit : Common Stock  $92,000

Debit : Retained Earnings $130,000

Debit : Revaluation Reserve ($20+ $185) $205,000

Debit : Goodwill $55,000

Credit : Investment in Subsidiary - Socket Corporation $482,000

Explanation:

Goodwill is the excess of Purchase price over the Net Assets Taken over at acquisition date.

The Net Assets taken over can be presented by the Equity of the Investee. That is the sum of Common Stock, Retained Earnings and Revaluation Reserves made to reflect fair value adjustments at acquisition date.

Note how the Revaluation Reserve ended with $205,000 following increase of $20,000 on value of land and $185,000 on value of buildings to reflect fair values.

The elimination journal needs to be prepared at consolidation to eliminate common items as reflected by Part b above.
