Other information: • Both companies use a FIFO system, and Stanton's entire inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the following year. • During 2022, Stanton borrowed $20,000 in cash from Remburn interest free to finance its operations. The amount remains unpaid on December 31, 2022. • Remburn uses the cost method to account for its investment in Stanton Inc. • Stanton sold all of its land during the year for $28,000. • The goodwill impairment for 2022 was determined to be $7,000. • Remburn has chosen to use the identifiable net assets (INA) method to value the noncontrolling interest in Stanton on the acquisition date.
Version 1
31
24.1) Prepare Remburn's consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2022 and show the allocation of the consolidated net income between the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
24.2) Prepare Remburn's statement of consolidated retained earnings as at December 31, 2022.
24.3) Prepare a statement of changes in noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2022.
24.4)
Prepare a consolidated balance sheet for Remburn Inc. as at December 31, 2022.
24.5) Assume that Stanton's equipment, land and trademark on the date of acquisition form part of a single asset group. Also assume that due to significant adverse changes in Stanton's technological environment, the assets are expected to only generate future cash flows of $40,000. Does this mean that Stanton will have to recognize an impairment loss? Explain.
Version 1
32
24.6) Assume that Stanton had other intangible assets with indefinite lives on its books at the date of acquisition. How would the impairment test differ from that which would apply to its amortizable assets, if at all? A simple explanation is required. Please do not use any numbers to support your answer.
24.7) Disregard the above goodwill impairment loss provided in the question. Instead, assume that Stanton has only one cash-generating unit with goodwill and that Stanton's common shares had a fair market value of $51,000 on December 31, 2022. Determine if an impairment loss has resulted. If yes, apply the impairment loss to determine the revised carrying amounts of the goodwill and identifiable assets.

25) Davis Inc. (Davis) purchased a controlling interest in Martin Inc. (Martin) on January 1, 2022, when Martin's common shares and retained earnings were carried at $180,000 and $60,000, respectively. On that date, Martin's book values approximated its fair values, with the exception of the company's inventories and a patent held by Martin. The patent, which had an estimated remaining useful life of ten years, had a fair value which was $20,000 higher than its book value. Martin's inventories on January 1, 2022 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value. It was predicted that Martin's goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2023, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition. During 2022, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and declared and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin's 2023 net income and dividends declared and paid were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets. Assuming that Davis purchases 100% of Martin for $300,000, answer the following: Required: a) Prepare Davis' equity method journal entries for 2022 and 2023. b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2023: i.

Martin's inventories on January 1, 2022 were estimated to have a fair value that was $16,000 higher than their book value. It was predicted that Martin's goodwill impairment test, which was to be conducted on December 31, 2023, would result in a loss equal to 10% of the goodwill (regardless of the amount) at the date of acquisition. During 2022, Martin reported a net income of $60,000 and declared and paid $12,000 in dividends. Martin's 2023 net income and dividends declared and paid were $72,000 and $15,000, respectively. Martin uses straight-line amortization for all of its assets. Davis uses the fair value enterprise (FVE) method. Assuming that Davis purchases 70% of Martin for $280,000, answer the following: Required: a) Prepare Davis' equity method journal entries for 2022 and 2023. b) Compute the following as at December 31, 2023: i.

28) Selectron Inc. (Selectron) acquired 60% of Insor Inc. (Insor) on January 1, 2022 for $180,000, when Insor's common shares and retained earnings were worth $60,000 and $180,000, respectively. Insor's fair values equaled their book values on that date. Selectron currently uses the equity method to account for its investment in Insor. During 2022, investment income in the amount of $12,000 and dividends in the amount of $1,200 were recorded in Selectron's Investment in Insor account. During 2023, investment income in the amount of $24,000 and dividends in the amount of $2,400 were recorded in Selectron's Investment in Insor account. Insor declares dividends in the amount of 10% of its earnings. Required: a) Compute Insor's net income for 2022 and 2023. b) Compute the amount of dividends declared by Insor in each year. c) Compute the balance in the non-controlling interest account as at December 31, 2023. Answer: a) Insor's net income for 2022 and 2023 had to be $20,000 and $40,000 respectively. Insor's net income for 2022 is calculated as follows: 2022 net income flowing through investment account = $12,000; $12,000/60% = $20,000 Insor's 2023 net income would be calculated in the same manner, and would be $40,000 ($24,000/60%) b) Dividends, 2022 = $20,000 × 10 % = $2,000 (or $1,200/60%). Dividends, 2023 = $4,000 ($40,000 × 10 % = $4,000 (or $2,400/60%) c) Non-Controlling Interest:

Parrot paid $460,000 for the common shares and $105,000 for the preference shares. The contributed surplus arose from the issue of the preferred shares at a price higher than their stated value. The preferred shares paid cumulative dividends of 5% of their stated value but dividends for 2021 and 2022 were unpaid. The shares were redeemable, at the option of the issuer, at a premium of 8%. The capital assets of Salt had a remaining useful life of ten years at January 1, 2013. Any unallocated acquisition differential would be treated as goodwill, which is assessed annually for impairment. Parrot accounts for its interest in Salt using the cost method and accounts for the noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements using the fair value enterprise method. Parrot's net income for 2023 was $300,000 and Parrot paid dividends of $150,000 on December 31, 2023. Salt's net income for 2023 was $120,000 before a loss from discontinued operations of $60,000 (net of tax). Salt paid dividends of $75,000 in 2023.

51) On January 1, 2023, some residents of the community of Kiterup, B.C., formed the Kiterup Winter Sports Association (KWSA) which was organized as a not-for-profit organization which has as its purposes encouraging participation in outdoor winter sports. In its first year, the board decided to restrict its activities to ice skating and skiing. Initial funding was provided by an individual who made an endowment contribution of $200,000 which was invested in bonds and generated income during the year of $8,000. The donor placed no restrictions on the use of the income produced by the investment of the endowment contribution which were to be divided evenly between all programs undertaken by KWSA. During the year, donations of $750,000 were received and a further $150,000 of pledges was outstanding of which the board estimated $130,000 would be collected. It was agreed that such donations, all of which were unrestricted, would be divided evenly between the skating and skiing programs. As a practical matter, donations not yet received at year-end were restricted for use in the following year. A special fund drive was undertaken to raise money to provide skates to needy youngsters and skiing equipment to needy senior citizens. During the year, $25,000 was received in contributions for skates and $15,000 for contributions towards purchasing skis. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the organization incurred the following costs. Ice Skating Program Wages and salaries Ice skates
