Accounting
On January 1, 2017, Allan Company bought a 15 percent interest in Sysinger Company. The acquisition price of $217,500 reflected an assessment that all of Sysingers accounts were fairly valued within the companys accounting records. During 2017, Sysinger reported net income of $117,700 and declared cash dividends of $35,100. Allan possessed the ability to influence significantly Sysingers operations and, therefore, accounted for this investment using the equity method.
On January 1, 2018, Allan acquired an additional 80 percent interest in Sysinger and provided the following fair-value assessments of Sysingers ownership components:
Consideration transferred by Allan for 80% interest
$
1,438,400
Fair value of Allan's 15% previous ownership
269,700
Noncontrolling interest's 5% fair value
89,900
Total acquisition-date fair value for Sysinger Company
$
1,798,000
Also, as of January 1, 2018, Allan assessed a $426,000 value to an unrecorded customer contract recently negotiated by Sysinger. The customer contract is anticipated to have a remaining life of four years. Sysingers other assets and liabilities were judged to have fair values equal to their book values. Allan elects to continue applying the equity method to this investment for internal reporting purposes.
At December 31, 2018, the following financial information is available for consolidation:
