Question

On January 1, 2019, Monica Company acquired 70 percent of Young Company’s outstanding common stock for $798,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the acquisition date was $342,000. Young reported stockholders’ equity accounts on that date as follows:

 

       
Common stock—$10 par value $ 200,000  
Additional paid-in capital   100,000  
Retained earnings   660,000  
 

 

In establishing the acquisition value, Monica appraised Young's assets and ascertained that the accounting records undervalued a building (with a five-year remaining life) by $60,000. Any remaining excess acquisition-date fair value was allocated to a franchise agreement to be amortized over 10 years.

 

During the subsequent years, Young sold Monica inventory at a 20 percent gross profit rate. Monica consistently resold this merchandise in the year of acquisition or in the period immediately following. Transfers for the three years after this business combination was created amounted to the following:

 

Year Transfer Price   Inventory Remaining
at Year-End
(at transfer price)
2019 $ 60,000     $ 35,000  
2020   80,000       37,000  
2021   90,000       43,000  
 

 

In addition, Monica sold Young several pieces of fully depreciated equipment on January 1, 2020, for $61,000. The equipment had originally cost Monica $100,000. Young plans to depreciate these assets over a 5-year period.

 

In 2021, Young earns a net income of $230,000 and declares and pays $80,000 in cash dividends. These figures increase the subsidiary's Retained Earnings to a $990,000 balance at the end of 2021.

 

Monica employs the equity method of accounting. Hence, it reports $155,560 investment income for 2021 with an Investment account balance of $935,980. Prepare the worksheet entries required for the consolidation of Monica Company and Young Company. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
