Explanation of Solution

An acquisition of assets is the purchase of a corporation by purchasing its assets rather than its stock. An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

The required journal entry recorded by the parent is as follows:

DateAccount title and ExplanationPost RefDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Cash $128,700 
 Accumulated depreciation $20,800 
 Equipment  $124,800
 Gain on sale of Equipment  $24,700
 

(To record the sale of equipment)

Working notes:

In January of 2014, the parent sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $128,700. The subsidiary retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 10-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the subsidiary on equipment is $128,700/10 i.e., $12,870

The parent had acquired the equipment at a cost of $124,800 and depreciated the equipment over its 12-year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $124,800/12 i.e., $10,400

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$12,870$10,400=$2,470

Explanation of Solution

In January of 2014, the parent sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $128,700. The subsidiary retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 10-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the subsidiary on equipment is $128,700/10 i.e., $12,870

The parent had acquired the equipment at a cost of $124,800 and depreciated the equipment over its 12-year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $124,800/12 i.e., $10,400

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$12,870$10,400=$2,470

Operating expenses of the subsidiary is $104,000

Gain on the sale of equipment is $24,700

Through the BOY, two years have passed, so the deferred gain at the start of the current year is as follows:

Deferred gain=$24,7002×$2,470=$19,760

Hence, the remaining portion of the deferred gain on Jan 1, 2016 is $19,760.

Goodwill$117,000 $117,000
EOY AAP assets$299,000__$19,500__$188,500__

The computation to yield the Equity Investment balance on Dec 31, 2016 is as follows:

ParticularsAmount ($)

EOY subsidiary retained earnings

$377,000
EOY subsidiary common stock$390,000
Add: Unamortized AAP @ EOY$188,500
Less: Unconfirmed gain @ EOY$17,290
EOY Equity investment balance$938,210

The consolidated spreadsheet for the year ended December 31, 2016 is shown below:
