Option #2: Intercompany Transactions
Assume a parent company acquired 100% of a subsidiary on 1/1/X1 at a purchase price that was $300,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s book value. Of that excess, $200,000 was assigned to an unrecorded patent that is being amortized over 10 years. The remaining $100,000 was assigned to goodwill. In the year X2, the subsidiary sold land to the parent for $100,000. The land was reported on the balance sheet of the subsidiary for $70,000 at the date of sale.
The financial statements for the parent and subsidiary for the year ended 12/31/X3 are attached in the Excel spreadsheet.
Submission Requirements:
Using the ACT470_Mod04-Option02.xlsx Excel spreadsheet in the Module 4 folder:
- Prepare the consolidated financial statements at 12/31/X3 by placing the appropriate entries in their respective debit/credit column cells.
