On that date, Grub Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $100,000 and $60,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Grub’s fair market values on the date of acquisition are disclosed below:
  Errant Inc. Grub Inc. Grub Inc.
  (carrying value) (carrying value) (fair value)
Cash $120,000 $76,000 $76,000

The net incomes for Errant and Grub for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $160,000 and $90,000 respectively. Grub paid $9,000 in dividends to Errant during the year. There were no other inter-company transactions during the year. Moreover, an impairment test conducted on December 31, 2019 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value of $20,000. Both companies use a FIFO system, and most of Grub’s inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Errant did not declare any dividends during the year.

Assume that any difference between the fair values and book values of the equipment, trademark and bonds payable would all be amortized over 10 years.

If Errant used the equity method to account for its investment in Grub and had net income of $160,000 from its own operations (before making any entries to reflect its investment in Grub), what consolidated net income would Errant report in its consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019?
A. $90,000
B. $160,000
C. $230,000
D. $250,000

Equity method (The parent’s separate-entity net income should be equal to consolidated net income attributable to shareholders of the parent):

Errant’s net income   $160,000
Grub’s net income $90,000  
Less: amortization of acquisition differential $(16,000)  
•goodwill impairment loss ($24,000 CV – $20,000 recoverable amount) $(4,000) $70,000

Short Answer Questions

  1. Davis Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. on January 1, 2019, when Martin’s common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000 respectively. On that date, Martin’s book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company’s inventories and a Patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin’s Inventories on January 1, 2019 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value.

    It was predicted that Martin’s goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2020, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition being recorded. During 2019, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin’s 2020 net income and dividends were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets.

    Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following:

    Required:

    a) Prepare Davis’ Equity Method journal entries for 2019 and 2020.

    b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2020:

    i. Investment in Martin Inc.

Insor’s fair values approximated their book values on that date. Selectron currently uses the Equity Method to account for its investment in Insor.

    During 2019, investment income in the amount of $12,000 and dividends in the amount of $1,200 were recorded in Selectron’s Investment in Insor account. During 2020, investment income in the amount of $24,000 and dividends in the amount of $2,400 were recorded in Selectron’s Investment in Insor account. Insor declares dividends in the amount of 10% of its earnings.

    Required:

    a) Compute Insor’s net income for 2019 and 2020.
    b) Compute the amount of dividends declared by Insor in each year.
    c) Compute the balance in the non-controlling interest account as at December 31, 2020.

  2. a) Insor’s Net Income for 2019 and 2020 had to be $20,000 and $40,000 respectively.

    Insor’s Net Income for 2019 is calculated as follows:

    2019 Net Income flowing through investment account = $12,000;

    $12,000/60% = $20,000

    Insor’s 2020 net income would be calculated in the same manner, and would be $40,000.
    b) Dividends, 2019 = $20,000 ´ 10 % = $2,000 (or $1,200/60%) Dividends, 2020 = $4,000.
    c) Non-Controlling Interest:

Fair value of Insor at date of acquisition: $300,000
Add: 2019 Net Income $20,000
Less: 2019 Dividends ($2,000)
Add: 2020 Net Income $40,000
Less: 2020 Dividends ($4,000)
Book value of Insor, December 31, 2020 $354,000
Non-Controlling Interest (40%) $141,600

  1. Brand X Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Brand Y Inc. on January 1, 2020. On that date, Brand Y Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $180,000 and $20,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At the date of acquisition, Brand Y’s assets and liabilities were assessed for fair value as follows:
Inventory $5,000 less than book value
Equipment $30,000 less than book value
Patent $24,000 greater than book value
Bonds Payable $5,000 less than book value

The balance sheets of both companies, as at December 31, 2020 are disclosed below:


  Brand X Inc. Brand Y Inc.
Cash $200,000 $45,000
Accounts Receivable $100,000 $40,000

Common Shares $100,000 $180,000
Retained Earnings $98,000 $19,000
Total Liabilities and Equity $948,000 $300,000

The net incomes for Brand X and Brand Y for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1,000 and $50,000 respectively. Brand X did not declare any dividends during the year. However, Brand Y paid $51,000 in dividends to make up for several years in which the company had never paid any dividends.

An impairment test conducted on December 31, 2020 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value $2,000 lower than the amount calculated on the date of acquisition.

Both companies use a FIFO system, and Brand Y’s inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Brand Y’s equipment and patent have useful lives of 10 years and 6 years respectively from the date of acquisition. All bonds payable mature on January 1, 2025.
Prepare Brand X’s consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2020, assuming that Brand X purchased 100% of Brand Y for $350,000 and accounts for its investment using the equity method.

  1. Remburn Inc. Inc. purchased 90% of the outstanding voting shares of Stanton Inc. for $90,000 on January 1, 2019. On that date, Stanton Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $30,000 and $20,000, respectively. The equipment had a remaining useful life of 10 years from the date of acquisition. Stanton’s trademark is estimated to have a remaining life of 5 years from the date of acquisition. Stanton’s bonds mature on January 1, 2039. The inventory was sold in the year following the acquisition. Both companies use straight line amortization, and no salvage value is assumed for assets. Remburn Inc. and Stanton Inc. declared and paid $12,000 and $4,000 in dividends, respectively during the year.

    The balance sheets of both companies, as well as Stanton’s fair values on the date of acquisition are shown below:

Both companies use a FIFO system, and Stanton’s entire inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the following year. During 2019, Stanton Inc. borrowed $20,000 in cash from Remburn Inc. interest free to finance its operations. Remburn uses the Cost Method to account for its investment in Stanton Inc. Moreover, Stanton sold all of its land during the year for $28,000. Goodwill impairment for 2019 was determined to be $7,000.

Remburn has chosen to value the non-controlling interest in Stanton on the acquisition date at the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (identifiable net assets method).

Assume that Stanton’s Equipment, Land and Trademark on the date of acquisition form part of a single asset group. Assume also that these assets are expected to generate future cash flows of $40,000. Does this mean that Stanton will have to recognize an impairment loss? Explain.

Not necessarily. Given the above information, Stanton has “failed” the first part of the required two-part impairment test required for long-lived assets since the expected future cash flows of this asset group of $40,000 falls well short of the carrying values of the assets within the group, which total $55,000. Given this information, the second part of the two-part impairment test must be applied.

The second part of the impairment test requires that an impairment loss be recognized if Stanton fails the first part of the impairment test and the fair values of the assets within the group are less than their total carrying values. However, since the fair values (recoverable amount) are higher than their carrying values ($65,000 vs. $55,000 respectively), there would be no impairment loss in this case.

Assume that Stanton had other Intangible assets with indefinite lives on its books at the date of acquisition. How would the impairment test differ from that which would apply to its amortizable assets, if at all? A simple explanation is required. Please do not use any numbers to support your answer.

Only the second part of the two-part impairment test would be required. Thus, an impairment loss would have to be recognized only if the fair value of the relevant asset group were less than their carrying values.

Both companies use a FIFO system, and Stanton’s entire inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the following year. During 2019, Stanton Inc. borrowed $20,000 in cash from Remburn Inc. interest free to finance its operations. Remburn uses the Cost Method to account for its investment in Stanton Inc. Moreover, Stanton sold all of its land during the year for $28,000. Goodwill impairment for 2019 was determined to be $7,000.

Remburn has chosen to value the non-controlling interest in Stanton on the acquisition date at the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets (identifiable net assets method).

Disregard the above goodwill impairment loss provided in the question. Instead, assume that Stanton Inc. has only one cash-generating unit with goodwill and that Stanton Inc.’s common shares had a fair market value of $51,000 on December 31, 2019. Determine if an impairment loss has resulted. If yes, apply the impairment loss to determine the revised carrying amounts of the goodwill and identifiable assets.

Yes, an impairment loss has resulted and calculated as follows:


Carrying amount of Stanton’s–Dec. 31, 2019  
Identifiable net assets $71,000
Goodwill** 30,000
Total carrying amount $101,000
Recoverable amount 51,000
Total impairment loss 50,000

The impairment loss is first applied to goodwill then to the identifiable assets. Since the calculation of impairment loss included a value for the NCI’s unrecognized shares of goodwill, part of the impairment loss will be allocated to the NCI as follows:

  Parent’s Goodwill NCI’s Goodwill Identifiable assets Total
Carrying amount $27,000 $3,000 $71,000 $101,000
Impairment loss (27,000) (3,000) (20,000) (50,000)
Carrying amount after impairment loss 0 0 $51,000 $51,000

** Goodwill will need to be grossed-up when the identifiable net assets method is used to account for NCI. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the unit will have to be grossed up to include the goodwill attributable to the non-controlling interest – $3,000. This adjusted carrying amount for goodwill ($30,000) is then compared with the recoverable amount of the unit to determine whether the cash-generating unit is impaired.
