30. Estimating the value of goodwill to be included in an offering price can be done under several alternative methods. The excess earnings approach is frequently used. Identify the steps used in this approach to estimate goodwill. Answer: The excess earnings approach to estimating goodwill includes the following steps: (a) Identify a normal rate of return for firms similar to the company being targeted, (b) Apply the identified rate of return of the level of identifiable assets (or net assets) of the target to approximate what would be normal earnings in this industry, (c) Estimate the expected future earnings of the target, (d) Subtract the normal earnings from the expected target earnings to compute “excess earnings”, and (e) Assume an appropriate time period and a discount rate to compute the discounted value of the excess earnings − the estimated goodwill.

31. The two alternative views of consolidated financial statements are the parent company concept and the economic entity concept. Briefly explain the differences between the concepts. Answer: Under the parent company concept, the consolidated financial statements reflect the stockholders’ interests in the parent, plus their undivided interests in the net assets of the parent's subsidiaries. The focus is on the interests of the parent's shareholders. Under the economic entity concept, control of the whole by a single management is emphasized. With this concept, consolidated financial statements are intended to provide information about a group of legal entities − a parent company and its subsidiaries − operating as a single unit.

Question Type: Problem

32. Hopkins Company is considering the acquisition of Richfield, Inc. To assess the amount it might be willing to pay, Hopkins makes the following computations and assumptions. A. Richfield, Inc. has identifiable assets with a total fair value of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $3,700,000. The assets include office equipment with a fair value approximating book value, buildings with a fair value 25% higher than book value, and land with a fair value 50% higher than book value. The remaining lives of the assets are deemed to be approximately equal to those used by Richfield, Inc. B. Richfield, Inc.'s pretax incomes for the years 2020 through 2022 were $470,000, $570,000, and $370,000, respectively. Hopkins believes that an average of these earnings represents a fair estimate of annual earnings for the indefinite future. However, it may need to consider adjustments for the following items included in pretax earnings: Depreciation on Buildings (each year) Depreciation on Equipment (each year) Extraordinary Loss (year 2022) Salary Expense (each year)

380,000 30,000 130,000 170,000

C. The normal rate of return on net assets for the industry is 15%.

Required: A. Assume that Hopkins feels that it must earn a 20% return on its investment, and that goodwill is determined by capitalizing excess earnings. Based on these assumptions, calculate a reasonable offering price for Richfield, Inc. Indicate how much of the price consists of goodwill. B. Assume that Hopkins feels that it must earn a 15% return on its investment, but that average excess earnings are to be capitalized for five years only. Based on these assumptions, calculate a reasonable offering price for Richfield, Inc. Indicate how much of the price consists of goodwill. Answer: A. Normal earnings for similar firms = ($6,000,000 - $3,700,000) × 15% = $345,000 Expected earnings of target: Pretax income of Richfield, Inc., 2020 Subtract: Additional depreciation on buildings ($380,000 × .25) Target's adjusted earnings, 2020

$470,000 (95,000) 375,000

Pretax income of Richfield, Inc., 2021 Subtract: Additional depreciation on buildings Target's adjusted earnings, 2021

$570,000 (95,000)

Pretax income of Richfield, Inc., 2022 Add: Extraordinary loss Subtract: Additional depreciation on buildings Target's adjusted earnings, 2022

$370,000 130,000 (95,000)

475,000

405,000


Target's three year total adjusted earnings Target's three year average adjusted earnings

1,255,000 418,333

Excess earnings of target = $418,333 – $345,000 = $73,333 per year

Present value of excess earnings (perpetuity) at 20%:

$73,333 20% = $366,665 (Estimated Goodwill)

Implied offering price = Fair value of assets - Fair value of liabilities + Estimated goodwill Implied offering price = $6,000,000 - $3,700,000 + $366,665 = 2,666,665.

B.

Excess earnings of target (same as in A): $73,333

Present value of excess earnings (ordinary annuity) for five years at 15%; $73,333 × 3.35216 = $245,824 Implied offering price = $6,000,000 - $3,700,000 + $245,824 = $2,545,824. Note: The salary expense and depreciation on equipment are expected to continue at the same rate, and thus do not necessitate adjustments.

Section Reference: 1.8

33. Eden Company is trying to decide whether to acquire Bloomington Inc. The following balance sheet for Bloomington Inc. provides information about book values. Estimated market values are also listed, based upon Eden Company's appraisals.

Current Assets Property, Plant & Equipment (net) Total Assets Total Liabilities Common Stock, $10 par value Retained Earnings Total Liabilities and Equities

Bloomington Inc. Book Values $ 450,000 1,140,000 $1,590,000

Bloomington Inc. Market Values $ 450,000 1,300,000 $1,750,000

$700,000 280,000 610,000 $1,590,000

$700,000

Eden Company expects that Bloomington will earn approximately $290,000 per year in net income over the next five years. This income is higher than the 14% annual return on tangible assets considered to be the industry "norm." Required: A. Compute an estimation of goodwill based on the information above that Eden might be willing to pay (include in its purchase price), under each of the following additional assumptions: (1) Eden is willing to pay for excess earnings for an expected life of 4 years (undiscounted).


(2) Eden is willing to pay for excess earnings for an expected life of 4 years, which should be capitalized at the industry normal rate of return. (3) Excess earnings are expected to last indefinitely, but Eden demands a higher rate of return of 20% because of the risk involved. B. Determine the amount of goodwill to be recorded on the books if Eden pays $1,300,000 cash and assumes Bloomington's liabilities. Answer: A. Normal earnings for similar firms (based on tangible assets only) = $1,750,000 × 14% = $245,000 Excess earnings = $290,000 - 245,000 = $45,000 (1)

Goodwill based on four years excess earnings undiscounted. Goodwill = ($45,000)(4 years) = $180,000

(2)

Goodwill based on four years discounted excess earnings Goodwill = ($45,000)(2.91371) = $131,117 (present value of an annuity factor for n=4, I=14% is 2.91371)

(3)

Goodwill based on a perpetuity Goodwill = ($45,000)/.20 = $225,000

B.

Goodwill = Cost less fair value of net assets Goodwill = ($1,300,000 - ($1,750,000 - $700,000)) = $250,000

34. In 2017, FASB simplified the test for goodwill impairment for public companies. Discuss the necessary steps of the annual goodwill impairment test for public companies. Answer: In the first step, assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the assessment indicates that it is more likely than not (a likelihood greater than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount (with goodwill), the entity performs the quantitative test to determine the amount of impairment. In the quantitative test, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired. The amount of goodwill impairment is the lower of a) the carrying value of goodwill or b) the excess of the carrying amount of the reportable unit (including goodwill) over its fair value.

$150,000 300,000 105,000 195,000 $750,000

Required: Appraisals reveal that the inventory has a fair value $180,000, and the equipment has a current value of $615,000. The book value and fair value of liabilities are the same. Assuming that Wood Company wishes to acquire Rose for cash in an asset acquisition, determine the following cutoff amounts: A. The purchase price above which Wood would record goodwill. B. The purchase price at which Wood would record a $50,000 gain. C. The purchase price below which Wood would obtain a ―bargain.‖ D. The purchase price at which Wood would record $75,000 of goodwill.


Answer: a. Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Book values $750,000 – $150,000 = Write up of Inventory and Equipment: ($30,000 + $45,000) = Purchase price above which goodwill would result

$600,000 75,000 $675,000

b.

Any existing goodwill would be eliminated before recording a gain: $675,000 Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets – $50,000 Gain = $625,000.

c.

Anything below $675,000 is technically considered a bargain.

d.

Goodwill would be $75,000 at a purchase price of $750,000 or ($675,000 + $75,000).

33. There are three levels of influence or control by an investor over an investee which determine the appropriate accounting treatment. Identify and briefly describe the three levels and their accounting treatment. Answer: The three levels of influence (control) over an investee are (1) no significant influence, (2) significant influence, and (3) effective control. When an investor has no significant influence over an investee, the investment is accounted for at fair value with year-end adjustment for market changes (the cost method). If the investor has significant influence over the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. In the equity method, the investor adjusts the investment account for changes in the investee's net assets.

27. 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. Answer: 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.

28. 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. Answer: 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 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.

27. Determination of the noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income differs depending on whether intercompany sales are downstream or upstream. Explain the difference in calculating noncontrolling interest for downstream and upstream sales. Answer: For downstream sales, no modification to the noncontrolling interest in consolidated income is needed. For upstream sales, the noncontrolling interest must be adjusted. The reported income of the subsidiary is reduced by the amount of gross profit remaining in ending inventory of the purchasing affiliate before multiplying by the noncontrolling percentage interest; it is increased for gross profit realized from beginning inventory. Question Title: Test Bank (Essay) Question 27 Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: 5 Compute the noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income for upstream and downstream sales, when not all the inventory has been sold to outsiders.

5.

2023 transaction loss = ($1.67 - $1.61) × 600,000 = ($36,000) 2024 transaction gain = ($1.67 - $1.62) × 600,000 = $30,000

6.

Premium amortized in 2023 = $24,000 × 2/3 = $16,000 Premium amortized in 2024 = $24,000 × 1/3 = $8,000

23. To accomplish the objectives of translation, two translation methods are used depending on the functional currency of the foreign entity. Describe the two translation methods. Answer: Under the current rate method, all assets and liabilities are translated using the current exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense transactions are translated at the exchange rate existing on the date each underlying transaction occurred. Under the temporal method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the current exchange rate. Assets and liabilities carried at historical cost are translated at historical exchange rates while those carried at current values are translated at the current exchange rate. Revenues and expenses except those related to assets and liabilities translated at historical rates, are translated at exchange rates in effect on the dates the underlying transaction occurred.

37. Publicly owned companies are usually required to file some type of quarterly (interim) report as part of the agreement with the stock exchanges that list their stock. Indicate two problems with interim reporting and GAAP’s position on this reporting. Answer: Problems associated with interim reporting include the seasonal nature of many industries’ operations that can cause wide fluctuations in revenues, expenses and net income from one interim period to another. In addition, the short time period available to determine interim results and the added cost of determining accurate figures for accruals and deferrals result in the use of a variety of estimation techniques, some of which proved to be highly inaccurate. GAAP (APB Opinion No. 28) supports the integral view for interim reporting. The APB stated that each interim period should be viewed primarily as an integral part of an annual period.

Required:

A. Identify the segments, which are reportable segments under one or more of the 10 percent revenue, operating profit, or assets tests.


B. After reportable segments are determined under the 10 percent tests, they must be reevaluated under a 75 percent revenue test before a final determination of reportable segments can be made. Under this 75 percent test, identify if any other segments may have to be reported. Answer: A.

Revenue Test – 10% ($6,800,000 + $1,200,000) = $700,000 800,000 Steel, Auto Parts, Coal Mine, Paint Operating Profit – 10% ($1,575,000) = $157,500 Steel, Auto Parts, Coal Mine, Paint, Electronics Segment Assets – 10% ($8,400,000) = $840,000 Steel, Auto Parts, Coal Mine, Paint

Reportable segments applying the 10% tests are: Steel, Auto Parts, Coal Mine, Paint and Electronics. B.

75% Revenue Test – 75% ($6,800,000) = $5,100,000 Since the 75% revenue test only applies to “Sales to Unaffiliated Customers” only, the five reportable segments from Part A only include $4,870,000 ($1,350,000 + $1,200,000 + $600,000 + $1,120,000 + $600,000) worth of sales. Because the 75% test is not met, one of the segments that did not qualify as a reportable segment under the previous tests must be included as a reportable segment.

30. The principal types of partnerships are general partnerships, limited partnerships, and joint ventures. Describe the characteristics of each type of partnership. Answer: In a general partnership, each member is a general partner. There are no ―limited partners‖. The following are characteristics of a general partnership:  Mutual agency  Right to dispose of a partnership interest  Unlimited liability  Limited or uncertain life In a limited partnership, one or more of the partners are general partners and one or more are limited partners. While general partners manage the firm and are personally liable for obligations of the partnership, limited partners invest capital only and limit their liability for partnership obligations to the amount of their investment. In return, limited partners give up the right to participate in the management of the firm. A joint venture is an arrangement entered into by two or more parties to accomplish a single or limited purpose for the mutual benefit of the members of the group, often to earn a profit. The life of the joint venture is usually limited to that of the undertaking, which may be of short- or long-term duration. The relationship between the parties in the joint venture is generally governed by a written agreement. A


distinguishing characteristic of the agreement is that each joint venture participates directly or indirectly in the overall management of the resources. Accordingly, major decisions require the consent of the ownership group. Joint ventures are sometimes organized as corporations and sometimes organized as partnerships.

Section Reference: 14.3 31. There are two methods of recording changes in the membership of a partnership – the bonus method and the goodwill method. Describe these two methods of recording changes in partnership membership. Answer: Two methods are frequently used to record changes in partnership membership: 1. The bonus method. When this method is used, the assets of the partnership are increased by the amount of the assets invested by the partner being admitted. Any difference between the assets invested and the credit to the new partner’s capital account is adjusted to the capital accounts of the other partners involved in the negotiations. If a partner withdraws from a partnership, the partners may agree to settle his or her capital interest by permitting the withdrawal of partnership assets. If the bonus method is used to record the withdrawal, the difference between the recorded value of the assets withdrawn and the debit to the withdrawing partner’s capital account is adjusted to the capital accounts of the remaining partners. 2. The goodwill method. When this method is used, a new asset is recorded that is based on the difference between the value implied by the amount of consideration negotiated in the admission or withdrawal of a partner and the values reported in the partnership books.

38. Agler, Bates and Colter are partners who share income in a 5:3:2 ratio. Colter, whose capital balance is $150,000, retires from the partnership. Required: Determine the amount paid to Colter under each of the following cases: (1) $50,000 is debited to Agler capital account; the bonus approach is used. (2) Goodwill of $60,000 is recorded; the partial goodwill approach is used. (3) $66,000 is credited to Bates’ capital account; the total goodwill approach is used. Answer: (1) Since a debit was made to Agler’s capital account, a bonus was paid to the retiring partner of $80,000 (5/8 goodwill = $50,000), resulting in a total payment to Colter of $230,000. The entry would be: Agler, Capital 50,000 Bates, Capital 30,000 Colter, Capital 150,000 Cash 230,000 (2) Under the partial goodwill approach, only the goodwill attributed to the retiring partner is recorded. Thus, the payment to Colter was $210,000 ($150,000 + $60,000). (3) Since $66,000 was credited, total goodwill of $220,000 ($66,000/0.3) is recorded. Colter is allocated $44,000 ($220,000 × 0.20). Thus, the payment to Colter was $194,000 ($150,000 + $44,000).
