On January 1, 2021, Ackerman sold equipment to Brannigan (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $200,000 in cash. The equipment had originally cost $180,000 but had a book value of only $110,000 when transferred. On that date, the equipment had a five-year remaining life. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Ackerman's equipment of book value $200,000 and Brannigan's equipment of book value $150,000. Ackerman reported $300,000 in net income in 2021 (not including any investment income) while Brannigan reported $98,000. Ackerman attributed any excess acquisition-date fair value to Brannigan's unpatented technology, which was amortized at a rate of $4,000 per year. A) What is consolidated equipment balance?

A parent company purchased an 80% controlling interest in its subsidiary several years ago. The aggregate fair value of the controlling and noncontrolling interest was $460,000 in excess of the subsidiary’s Stockholders’ Equity on the acquisition date. This excess was assigned to a building that was estimated to be undervalued by $276,000 and to an unrecorded patent valued at $184,000. The building asset is being depreciated over a 16-year period and the patent is being amortized over an 8-year period, both on the straight-line basis with no salvage value. During the current year, the parent and subsidiary reported a total of $690,000 of intercompany sales. At the beginning of the current year, there were $48,300 of upstream intercompany profits in the parent’s inventory. At the end of the current year, there were $74,750 of downstream intercompany profits in the subsidiary’s inventory. During the current year, the subsidiary declared and paid $103,500 of dividends. The parent company…

The retained earnings of a parent company were M550 000 and their 80% subsidiary had retained earnings of M300 000. When the subsidiary was acquired they had retained earnings of M210 000. The parent company sold a non-current asset to their subsidiary for M300 000. At the date of transfer the asset had a carrying value of M225 000. The subsidiary has charged depreciation of M30 000 on this asset since acquisition. If the parent had retained the asset they would have charged M19 000. The parent company gave the subsidiary a loan of M300 000 to enable them to make this purchase. The interest charged on this loan is 5% per annum and a full years charge has been made in the financial statements. Show the adjustments that are required on consolidation and calculate the consolidated retained earnings after the adjustments made.
