Explanation of Solution

An acquisition of assets is the purchase of a corporation by purchasing its assets rather than its stock. An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

The balance of the Equity Investment account at the beginning of the year equals the subsidiary's Stockholders' Equity plus the [A] assets' undepreciated and unamortized balances. Since the [A] assets with a useful life have now been depreciated or amortized for 3 years, the Equity Investment account's starting balance is as follows:

BOY retained earnings of subsidiary is $628,000.

Common stock of subsidiary is $150,000.

APIC of subsidiary is $510,000.

Calculate BOY stockholders equity of subsidiary:

BOY stockholders equity of subsidiary=BOY retained earnings+Common stock+APIC=$628,000+$150,000+$510,000=$1,288,000

Explanation of Solution

Equity income is money generated from stock dividends that investors can access by buying dividend-declared stocks or by buying funds that invest in dividend-declared stocks.

Explanation of Solution

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity. They are the financial statements of a group in which the parent company and its subsidiaries introduce their assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows as those of a single business organization.

Consolidated accounting is used to club a parent company's financial information and one or more subsidiaries. The parent prepares consolidated financial statements through adjustment of entries and elimination of transactions between companies.

The required consolidation journal entries are as follows:

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity. They are the financial statements of a group in which the parent company and its subsidiaries introduce their assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows as those of a single business organization.

A consolidated balance sheet provides a parent company's assets and liabilities and all of its subsidiaries in a legal document, without any differentiation on which items pertain to which companies.

Consolidation worksheet is an instrument used to prepare a parent's consolidated financial statements and their subsidiaries. It demonstrates the individual book values of companies, the adjustments and eliminations necessary, and the consolidated final values.

The consolidated spreadsheet for the year ended December 31, 2019x is shown below:

Explanation of Solution

An acquisition of assets is the purchase of a corporation by purchasing its assets rather than its stock. An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

Goodwill is an intangible asset associated with one company being purchased from another. In particular, goodwill is the portion of the purchase price which is higher than the sum of the net fair value of all the assets purchased during the acquisition and the liabilities assumed during the acquisition process. If the acquired assets are not a business, then as an asset acquisition, the reporting entity shall account for the transaction or other event. Goodwill impairment is an accounting charge recorded by companies when the carrying value of the goodwill on the financial statements exceeds its fair value. Goodwill is recorded in accounting after a company retains assets and liabilities, and needs to pay a price that exceeds its identifiable net value. Goodwill impairment testing must be performed annually and every year on about the same date. Companies can either choose to run the quantitative impairment test specifically, or take advantage of the opportunity to undertake a qualitative impairment test. If a company chooses to perform a qualitative impairment test, then the company must perform a quantitative impairment test if the appropriate events and circumstances signify that it is more probable than not that a reporting unit's fair value is lower than its carrying amount

Because the fair value of the subsidiary ($2.3 million) is less than the book value of the equity investment account ($2.5 million), Goodwill is therefore potentially impaired and you should continue to the second part of the impairment test. Goodwill impairment is an accounting charge recorded by companies when the carrying value of the goodwill on the financial statements exceeds its fair value. The impairment amount is the difference between these two amounts (i.e., $200,000), provided the difference is not greater than the balance of Goodwill (i.e., $500,000). The fair value of the identifiable net assets provided in the problem (other than Goodwill) is meaningless.

Hence, the goodwill asset is found to be impaired.

Goodwill is an intangible asset associated with one company being purchased from another. Goodwill impairment is an accounting charge recorded by companies when the carrying value of the goodwill on the financial statements exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill with the following journal entry has to be written down to its implied value of $200,000:

DateAccounting ExplanationAmount ($)Amount ($)
    
 Equity income from S$200,000 
 Equity investment $200,000
 (to write down the book value of goodwill)  

Table (1)

Goodwill will now be reported at $300,000 on the consolidated balance sheet, and a loss on goodwill write- down will be reported in the consolidated income statement. Thereafter, the goodwill asset cannot be written up if the fair value of the subsidiary improves.

Explanation of Solution

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity. They are the financial statements of a group in which the parent company and its subsidiaries introduce their assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows as those of a single business organization.

A consolidated balance sheet provides a parent company's assets and liabilities and all of its subsidiaries in a legal document, without any differentiation on which items pertain to which companies.

A consolidated income statement describes an overall view of the organization as a

whole, instead of its component parts. Any money owed between the companies included

in the statement will not be regarded.

The retained earnings statement (retained earnings statement) is a financial report explaining the adjustments in a company's retained earnings over a specified period.
