Accounting

On January 1, Year 4, Cyrus Inc. paid $914,000 in cash to acquire all of the ordinary shares of Fazli Company. On that date, Fazlis retained earnings were $200,000. All of Fazlis assets and liabilities had fair values equal to carrying amounts except for an investment in bonds, which was worth $12,988 more than carrying amount and will mature on December 31, Year 8. The recoverable amount for goodwill was $200,000 at the end of Years 4 and 5.

In Year 4, Cyrus reported net income from its own operations (exclusive of any income from Fazli) of $125,000 and declared no dividends. In Year 4, Fazli reported net income of $80,000 and paid a $30,000 cash dividend. Cyrus uses the cost method to report its investment in Fazli and uses the effective interest method to amortize premiums or discounts on investment in bonds.
