Accounting
On January 1, 2011 Company X acquired 80% of the common stock of Company Y for $200,000. On this date, Company Y had total owners' equity of $200,000 (including retained earnings of $ 100,000). During 2011 and 2012, Company X appropriately accounted for its investment in Company Y using the simple equity method.
Any excess of cost over book value is attributable to investment (worth $12,500 more than cost), to equipment (worth $25,000 more than book value), and to goodwill. FIFO is used for inventories. The equipment has a remaining life of four years, and straight-line depreciation is used. On January 1, 2012, Company X held merchandise acquired from Company Y for $20,000. During 2012, Company Y sold merchandise to company X for $40,000, $10,000 of which was still held by Company X on December 31, 2012. Company Y usual gross profit is 50%.
On January 1, 2011, Company X sold equipment to Company Y at a gain of $15,000. Depreciation is being computed using the straight -line method, a 5-year life, and no salvage value.
