Accounting

The Holtz Corporation acquired 80 percent of the 100,000 outstanding voting shares of Devine, Inc., for $6.55 per share on January 1, 2017. The remaining 20 percent of Devines shares also traded actively at $6.55 per share before and after Holtzs acquisition. An appraisal made on that date determined that all book values appropriately reflected the fair values of Devines underlying accounts except that a building with a 5-year future life was undervalued by $59,500 and a fully amortized trademark with an estimated 10-year remaining life had a $66,000 fair value. At the acquisition date, Devine reported common stock of $100,000 and a retained earnings balance of $194,500.

Following are the separate financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2018:

Holtz Corporation Devine, Inc.

At year-end, there were no intra-entity receivables or payables.

Prepare a worksheet to consolidate these two companies as of December 31, 2018.

Prepare a 2018 consolidated income statement for Holtz and Devine.

If instead the noncontrolling interest shares of Devine had traded for $4.20 surrounding Holtzs acquisition date, what is the impact on goodwill?
