- On July 1, 2016, Killearn Company acquired 120,000 of the outstanding shares of Shaun Company for $15 per share. This acquisition gave Killearn a 20 percent ownership of Shaun and allowed Killearn to significantly influence the investee's decisions. As of July 1, 2016, the investee had assets with a book value of $7 million and liabilities of $148,000. At the time, Shaun held equipment appraised at $581,000 above book value; it was considered to have a seven-year remaining life with no salvage value. Shaun also held a copyright with a five-year remaining life on its books that was undervalued by $1,235,000. Any remaining excess cost was attributable to goodwill. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method. Killearn applies the equity method for its investment in Shaun. Shaun's policy is to declare and pay a $1 per share cash dividend every April 1 and October 1. Shaun's income, earned evenly throughout each year, was $566,000 in 2016, $593,400 in 2017,…arrow_forwardOn January 1, 2017, Alison, Inc., paid $800,000 for a 40 percent interest in Hollister Corporation’s common stock. This investee had assets with a book value of $300,000 and liabilities of $175,000. A patent held by Hollister having a $5,000 book value was worth $20,000. This patent had a six-year remaining life. Any further excess cost associated with this acquisition was attributed to goodwill. During 2017, Hollister earned income of $30,000 and declared and paid dividends of $10,000. In 2018, it had income of $50,000 and dividends of $15,000. During 2018, the fair value of Allison’s investment in Hollister had risen from $68,000 to $75,000. Assuming Alison uses the equity method, what balance should appear in the Investment in Hollister account as of December 31, 2018? Assuming Alison uses fair-value accounting, what income from the investment in Hollister should be reported for 2018?

- On January 1, 2017, Fisher Corporation purchased 40 percent (80,000 shares) of the common stock of Bowden, Inc., for $982,000 in cash and began to use the equity method for the investment. The price paid represented a $60,000 payment in excess of the book value of Fisher’s share of Bowden’s underlying net assets. Fisher was willing to make this extra payment because of a recently developed patent held by Bowden with a 15-year remaining life. All other assets were considered appropriately valued on Bowden’s books. Bowden declares and pays a $100,000 cash dividend to its stockholders each year on September 15. Bowden reported net income of $400,000 in 2017 and $380,000 in 2018. Each income figure was earned evenly throughout its respective years.
