You should include in your worksheet (at minimum):
All necessary workpaper elimination entries for the preparation of consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The workpaper for the year ended December 31, 2016. Make sure you key (cross-reference) all of your adjustments to your elimination entries in an acceptable manner (numbers, letters, colors, etc.)!
Background:
Boston Corporation purchases 90% of the outstanding stock of Charleston Company on January 1, 2013 for $603,000 cash. At that time Charleston had the following stockholders' equity balances: common stock, $200,000; additional-paid-in-capital in excess of par, $80,000; and retained earnings, $300,000. All book values approximate fair values except for the plant assets (undervalued by $50,000 and with an estimated remaining life of 10 years). Any remaining excess is goodwill.
On January 1, 2015, Allegheny Company acquires a 60% interest in Boston Corporation for $750,000. At that time Boston had consolidated stockholders' equity of: common stock, $500,000; additional-paid-in-capital in excess of par, $150,000; and controlling retained earnings, $500,000. It was determined at that time that Boston's plant assets are undervalued by $50,000 and have a 10-year remaining life. Any remaining excess is goodwill.
Intercompany merchandise sales from Charleston to Boston for 2016 resulted in: (1) seller's goods in buyer's beginning inventory, $7,500; intercompany sales during 2016, $125,000; seller's goods in buyer's ending inventory, $10,000; and gross profit on intercompany sales of 80% in all years.
On January 1, 2015, Boston sells plant assets with a cost of $80,000 and accumulated depreciation of $45,000 to Allegheny for $50,000. Remaining life of the plant assets at the time of sale is estimated at 5 years.
