Placid Lake Corporation acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2020, when Scenic had a net book value of $500,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $8,000 per year.   Placid Lake's 2021 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $400,000. Scenic reported net income of $210,000. Placid Lake declared $200,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $50,000. At the end of 2021, selected figures from the two companies' balance sheets were as follows:     Placid Lake Scenic Inventory $ 240,000   $ 100,000   Land   700,000     300,000   Equipment (net)   500,000     400,000       During 2020, intra-entity sales of $125,000 (original cost of $62,000) were made. Only 10 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2020. In 2021, $190,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $69,000. Of this merchandise, 20 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.   Each of the following questions should be considered as an independent situation for the year 2021.     What is the consolidated balance in the ending Inventory account? Assume that no intra-entity inventory sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, in 2020, Scenic sold land costing $40,000 to Placid Lake for $70,000. On the 2021 consolidated balance sheet, what value should be reported for land?

Question

Placid Lake Corporation acquired 70 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Scenic, Inc., on January 1, 2020, when Scenic had a net book value of $500,000. Any excess fair value was assigned to intangible assets and amortized at a rate of $8,000 per year.

 

Placid Lake's 2021 net income before consideration of its relationship with Scenic (and before adjustments for intra-entity sales) was $400,000. Scenic reported net income of $210,000. Placid Lake declared $200,000 in dividends during this period; Scenic paid $50,000. At the end of 2021, selected figures from the two companies' balance sheets were as follows:

 

  Placid Lake Scenic
Inventory $ 240,000   $ 100,000  
Land   700,000     300,000  
Equipment (net)   500,000     400,000  
 

 

During 2020, intra-entity sales of $125,000 (original cost of $62,000) were made. Only 10 percent of this inventory was still held within the consolidated entity at the end of 2020. In 2021, $190,000 in intra-entity sales were made with an original cost of $69,000. Of this merchandise, 20 percent had not been resold to outside parties by the end of the year.

 

Each of the following questions should be considered as an independent situation for the year 2021.

 

 

  • What is the consolidated balance in the ending Inventory account?

  • Assume that no intra-entity inventory sales occurred between Placid Lake and Scenic. Instead, in 2020, Scenic sold land costing $40,000 to Placid Lake for $70,000. On the 2021 consolidated balance sheet, what value should be reported for land?
