Explanation of Solution

An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. Acquisition accounting is a set of formal directives defining how an acquired company's assets, liabilities, non-controlling interest (NCI) and goodwill must be recorded by the purchaser on its consolidated financial statement.

Calculate the subsidiary's total fair value:

Subsidiary's total fair value=80,000×$10=$800,000

Hence, the subsidiary's total fair value is $800,000.

Working Notes:

Number of shares issued by the parent company is 80,000.

Fair value per share is $ 10.

Explanation of Solution

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity.

Explanation of Solution

Unlike physical assets, such as machinery and buildings, and financial assets such as government securities, an intangible asset is an asset that appears to lack physical appearance. An intangible asset is normally very difficult to assess. Patents, copyrights, franchises, goodwill, trademarks and trade names are examples. Also includes software and other intangible computer-based assets in the general interpretation; these are all examples of intangible assets.

In the consolidation process we recognized the Patent and Goodwill assets. These assets were previously embedded on the balance sheet of the Parent in the Equity investment account. These are explicitly recognized in the consolidation process.
