The project must be completed in Excel with formulas linking information from your journal and eliminating entries to your final financial statements. The file must be uploaded to Canvas by I am Lee, Broome, MacBay, and Luttrell, CPA's potential client, and I need your assistance with two tasks related to accounting for investments that I am working on. I am the CFO of Mimi Corporation, and the first task relates to two investments that my company made on January 1, 2018, First, we purchased 30% of Uncle Company for $285,000. Second, we purchased 40% of Cousin Company for $90,000. On July 1, 2018 we sold 12.5% of our investment in Cousin (5% of Cousin Company) for $12,000 bringing our total ownership interest in Cousin down to 35%. Our ownership percentage in Uncle and Cousin gives us the ability to significantly influence each company. The investment in Uncle has done quite well for us, we estimate the Uncle company stock we own was worth $500,000 as of Dec.31, 2018. We plan to hold it for the foreseeable future, though we could sell it if we need the cash. However, the investment in Cousin didn't work out as well, and we intend to sell it in the near future. As of December 31, 2018, we estimate the Cousin Company stock we own was worth only 34,000. I know almost nothing about accounting for investments and need your help in putting together my company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 When determining the appropriate price to pay for these investments, we determined the following information. Uncle Company's total book value on January 1, 2018 was $352,000. However, as of that date, Uncle owned land that was undervalued on their books by $100,000. In addition, we determined that Uncle owned a patent with 10 years of remaining useful life which we believe was undervalued by 50,000. Cousin's total book value as of January 1, 2018 was $150,000. In addition, we determined that they owned equipment that was undervalued by $6,000 and had 6 years of remaining useful life and a building that was undervalued by $45,000 and had 9 years of remaining useful life During 2018, Uncle Company earned $175,000 of net income, and paid us dividends of $4,000 on March 31, 2018, and $6,000 on September 30, 2018. Cousin Company reported a net loss of $40,000 during 2018, and paid us dividends of $1,500 on March 31 and June 30 and of During 2018, Uncle Company earned $175,000 of net income, and paid us dividends of $4,000 on March 31, 2018, and $6,000 on September 30, 2018. Cousin Company reported a net loss of $40,000 during 2018, and paid us dividends of $1,500 on March 31 and June 30 and of $1,000 on September 30. In addition, we bought inventory from Uncle Company during October 2018 and I am not sure if those purchases need to be accounted for differently. We bought $80,000 of inventory (with an original cost to Uncle of $20,000). So far, we have accounted for it like any other inventory purchase. We have $30,000 (at our price) of the inventory remaining at 12/31/2018. Specifically, we have recorded the following entry on our books (and its effect is already included in the attached financial statements): Dr Inventory 80,000 Cr Cash 80,000 As I stated above, I don't know very much about accounting for investments. Therefore, we have done very little accounting for these two investments. Specifically, we have recorded only the following journal entries: Dr Investment in Uncle $285,000 Dr Investment in Cousin $90,000 Cr Cash Cr Cash (l haven't even recorded the cash we received as dividends from them yet, because I $285,000 $90,000 had no idea what the credit side of that journal entry should be.) (I haven't even recorded the cash we received as dividends from them yet, because l had no idea what the credit side of that journal entry should be.) Therefore, my first request is that you let me know what additional entries we need to make related to these investments, and adjust the attached financial statements for Mimi Company for the year ended (as of) December 31, 2018, to reflect those entries. My second request relates to a potential acquisition that we are considering. My company is currently considering purchasing 100% of Daughter Company and my boss wants to know what effect that investment would have on our financial statements. I have been told that one of the most important decisions we need to make when acquiring a subsidiary is whether to dissolve the subsidiary as a separate legal entity, or to keep them as a separate legal entity. I am not sure which of those decisions we would make and would like to see how our financial statements would look under each of those scenarios. So, if you could prepare pro forma financial statements for my company under each scenario (assuming that we purchased them on December 31,2018) that would be great. I have attached a copy of Daughter's financial statements for the year ended (as of) December 31, 2018. As you can see their total book value on that date was $88,594. However, we are considering an offer of $142,000 because we believe their land is undervalued by $25,000, their equipment is undervalued by $15,000, and their outstanding reputation adds additional value. The equipment has 15 years of remaining life. Please base your accounting or the assumption that we purchased them on December 31, 2018 for $142,000 cash, and please show the potential impact of this acquisition after including the completed accounting for our investments in Cousin and Uncle. Dr. Garner tells me that you guys are experts at accounting for investments, and I look forward to seeing the financial statements. Please let Dr. Garner know if there is any additional information that you need from me and I will get it to you promptly.
