19) Pare Corporation owns 65% of the outstanding voting stock of Summer Corporation. On January 1,
2013, Pare purchased $4,000,000 of bonds that were originally issued by Summer several years earlier. The
ten-year bonds have a 5% interest rate, and pay interest each December 31.
The bonds were originally issued at a discount of $206,080, but at January 1, 2013, they have a book value
of $3,896,960. Pare paid $4,067,935 for the bonds and will amortize the premium over the next five years
when the bonds mature. Both companies use the straight-method of amortization.
Required:
1. Calculate the interest expense for 2013 that will be recorded by Summer.
2. Calculate the interest income for 2013 that will be recorded by Pare.
3. Calculate the Gain/Loss on retirement of bonds payable that will be reported on the consolidated
financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2013.
Answer: Requirement 1
Interest expense = ($4,000,000 5%) + ($103,040 / 5) = $220,608
Requirement 2
Interest income = ($4,000,000 5%) - ($67,935 / 5) = $186,413
Requirement 3
Loss = Book value - amount paid = $3,896,960 - $4,067,935 = ($170,975)

20) Pass Corporation owns 80% of Sindy Company, purchased at the underlying book value on January 1,
2013. On January 1, 2013, Pass also purchased $200,000 par value 6% bonds that had been issued by
Sindy on January 1, 2010 with a ten-year maturity(due January 1, 2020). Annual interest is paid on
December 31. Straight-line amortization is used by both companies.
At year-end 2013, the following entry was made on the consolidating worksheet.

Required:
1. How much did Pass pay for the bonds?
2. What is the book value of the bonds on the date of purchase?
3. What amount of interest income and interest expense must be eliminated in the entry above
designated as (a) and (b)?
Answer: Requirement 1
Bonds issued 1/1/10 and mature 1/1/20, so at time of purchase, seven years remain. At 12/31/13 (time
of entry shown above), six years remain.
Pass shows an investment of $218,000 at 12/31/13. Assuming that the $18,000 premium will be written
off over the six years that remain, the premium amortization is $3,000 per year. Thus at the beginning of
2013 (the date of purchase), the premium would have been $21,000, indicating that Pass paid $221,000.
Requirement 2
If the bond premium remaining at 12/31/13 is $12,000, then the premium remaining at the time of
purchase(1/1/13) by Pass was $14,000($12,000 + $2,000 annual amortization). Thus the book value at the
time of purchase was $214,000.
Requirements 3 and 4
Interest income = ($200,000 6%) - ($18,000 / 6) = $9,000
Interest expense = ($200,000 6%) - ($12,000 / 6) = $10,000
