Book Value Value
Inventories........................................................................ $ 90,000 $165,000
Plant and equipment ............................................................. 150,000 180,000

All other assets and liabilities had book values approximately equal to their respective fair market
values. The plant and equipment had a remaining useful life of 10 years from January 1, 2010, and
Sherlock Company uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption.

Sherlock Company earned $180,000 in 2010 and paid dividends in that year of $90,000.
Prescott Company uses the complete equity method to account for its investment in S Company.

Required:

A. Prepare a computation and allocation schedule.


B. Prepare the balance sheet elimination entries as of December 31, 2010.
C. Compute the amount of equity in subsidiary income recorded on the books of Prescott Company
on December 31, 2010.
D. Compute the balance in the investment account on December 31, 2010.

Short Answer

1. When the value implied by the acquisition price is below the fair value of the identifiable net assets
the residual amount will be negative (bargain acquisition). Explain the difference in accounting for
bargain acquisition between past accounting and proposed accounting requirements.

2. Push down accounting is an accounting method required for the subsidiary in some instances such
as the banking industry. Briefly explain the concept of push down accounting.

1. Distinguish among the following concepts:(a)Difference between book value and the value implied
by the purchase price.(b)Excess of implied value over fair value.(c)Excess of fair value over implied
value.(d)Excess of book value over fair value.

2. In what account is the difference between book value and the value implied by the purchase
price recorded on the books of the investor? In what account is the “excess of implied over fair
value” recorded?

3. How do you determine the amount of “the difference between book value and the value implied by
the purchase price” to be allocated to a specific asset of a less than wholly owned subsidiary?

4. The parent company’s share of the fair value of the net assets of a subsidiary may exceed acquisition
cost. How must this excess be treated in the preparation of consolidated financial statements?

5. What are the arguments for and against the alternatives for the handling of bargain acquisitions?
Why are such acquisitions unlikely to occur with great frequency?

6. P Company acquired a 100% interest in S Company. On the date of acquisition the fair value of the
assets and liabilities of S Company was equal to their book value except for land that had a fair
value of $1,500,000 and a book value of $300,000.
At what amount should the land of S Company be included in the consolidated balance sheet?
At what amount should the land of S Company be included in the consolidated balance sheet if P
Company acquired an80% interest in S Company rather than a 100%interest?

Business Ethics Question from the Textbook

Consider the following: Many years ago, a student in a consolidated financial statements class came to me
and said that Grand Central (a multi-store grocery and variety chain in Salt Lake City and surrounding towns
and cities) was going to be acquired and that I should try to buy the stock and make lots of money. I asked
him how he knew and he told me that he worked part-time for Grand Central and heard that Fred Meyer was
going to acquire it. I did not know whether the student worked in the accounting department at Grand
Central or was a custodian at one of the stores. I thanked him for the information but did not buy the stock.
Within a few weeks, the announcement was made that Fred Meyer was acquiring Grand Central and the
stock price shot up, almost doubling. It was clear that I had missed an opportunity to make a lot of money ...
I don’t know to this day whether or not that would have been insider trading. How-ever, I have never gone
home at night and asked my wife if the SEC called. From “Don’t go to jail and other good advice for
accountants,” by Ron Mano, Accounting Today, October 25, 1999.
Question: Do you think this individual would have been guilty of insider trading if he had purchased the
stock in Grand Central based on this advice? Why or why not? Are there ever instances where you think it
would be wise to miss out on an opportunity to reap benefits simply because the behavior necessitated
would have been in a gray ethical area, though not strictly illegal? Defend your position.

Short Answer

1. In the past, when a bargain acquisition occurred some of the acquired assets were reduced below
their fair values. Long-lived assets were recorded at fair market value less an adjustment for the
bargain. In addition, an extraordinary gain was recorded in certain instances.

Under proposed accounting requirements, no assets are reduced below fair value. Instead the credit
(negative) balance will be shown as an ordinary gain in the year of acquisition.

2. Push down accounting is the establishment of a new accounting and reporting basis for a subsidiary
company in its separate financial statements based on the purchase price paid by the Parent

5-20 Test Bank to accompany Jeter and Chaney Advanced Accounting 3rd Edition

Company to acquire a controlling interest in the outstanding voting stock of the subsidiary company.
The valuation implied by the price of the stock to the Parent Company is “pushed down” to the
subsidiary and used to restate its assets and liabilities in its separate financial statements. Under
push down accounting, the Parent Company’s cost of acquiring a subsidiary is used to establish a
new accounting basis for the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the subsidiary’s separate
financial statements.

Solutions to Questions from the Textbook

1. a. The “difference between implied and book value” is the total difference between the value of the
subsidiary in total, as implied by the acquisition cost of an investment in that subsidiary, and the
book value of the subsidiary’s equity on the date of the acquisition (note that equity is the same as
net assets).

b. The excess of implied value over fair value, or “Goodwill,” is the excess of the value of the
subsidiary, as implied by the amount paid by the parent, over the fair value of the identifiable net assets
of that subsidiary on the date of acquisition.

c. The “excess of fair value over implied value” is the excess of the fair value of the identifiable net
assets of a subsidiary (all assets other than goodwill minus liabilities) on the acquisition date over the
value of the subsidiary as implied by the amount paid by the parent. This may be referred to as a
bargain acquisition.

d. An excess of book value over fair value describes a situation where some (or all) of the subsidiary’s
assets need to be written down rather than up (or liabilities need to be increased, or both). It does not,
however, tell us whether the acquisition results in the recording of goodwill or an ordinary gain (in a
bargain acquisition). That determination depends on the comparison of fair value of identifiable net
assets and the implied value (purchase price divided by percentage acquired), referred to in parts (b) and
(c) above.

2. The “difference between implied and book value” and the “Goodwill” are a part of the cost of an
investment and are included in the amount recorded in the investment account. Although not recorded
separately in the records of the parent company, these amounts must be known in order to prepare the
consolidated financial statements.

3. In allocating the difference between implied and book value to specific assets of a less than wholly
owned subsidiary, the difference between the fair value and book value of each asset on the date of
acquisition is reflected by adjusting each asset upward or downward to fair value (marked to market) in
its entirety, regardless of the percentage acquired by the parent company.

4. If the parent’s share of the fair value exceeds the cost, then the entire fair value similarly exceeds the
implied value of the subsidiary. This constitutes a bargain acquisition, and under proposed GAAP (ED
No. 1204-001), the excess is recorded as an ordinary gain in the period of the acquisition. Past GAAP
(APB Opinion No. 16) differed in that it provided that the excess of fair value over cost should be
allocated to reduce proportionally the values assigned to noncurrent assets with certain exceptions. If
such noncurrent assets were reduced to zero (or to the noncontrolling percentage, if there was one) by
this allocation, any remaining excess was recorded as an extraordinary gain.

5. The recording of an ordinary (or extraordinary gain) on an acquisition flies in the face of the rules of
revenue recognition because no earnings process has been completed. On the other hand, a decision to

Chapter 5 Allocation and Depreciation of Differences Between Implied and Book Value 5-21

record certain assets below their fair values is arbitrary, and also rather confusing (how far should they
be reduced?) The reason that bargain acquisitions are unlikely to occur very often is because they
suggest that the usual assumptions of an arm’s length transaction have been violated. In most
accounting scenarios, we assume that both parties are negotiating for a reasonable exchange price and
that price, once established, represents fair value both for the item given up and the item received. In
the case of a business combination, there is not a single item being exchanged but rather a number of
assets and liabilities. Nonetheless, the assumption is still that both parties are negotiating for a fair
valuation. If one party is able to obtain a bargain, it most likely indicates that the other party was being
influenced by non-quantitative considerations, such as a wish to retire quickly, health concerns, etc.

6. If P Company acquires a 100 percent interest in S Company the land will be included in the consolidated
financial statements at its fair value on the date of acquisition of $1,500,000. If P Company acquires an
80 percent interest in S Company, the land will still be included in the consolidated financial statements
at $1,500,000, and the noncontrolling interest would be charged with its share of the fair value
adjustment.

Business Ethics Solution

This case brings an interesting question to the table for discussion. As the article by Mano points out, each
individual must decide for himself or herself how to respond to the gray issues that are bound to arise in life.
Ultimately life is more about being at peace with ourselves and leaving a legacy of a life well-lived and
values taught through our example to the generations that we leave behind us than it is about accumulating
wealth (that we cannot take to the grave). The individual, had he acted on the advice, may have been guilty
of insider trading as the information available to him was, apparently, not available publicly. Although there
is no clear-cut definition of what constitutes insider trading, the gray area implies uncertainty; and this
uncertainty can in many cases result in decisions that have severe implications both professionally and
personally.
