Question - The Paris Company purchased an 80% interest in Seine, Inc. for $600,000 on July 1, 2015, when Seine had the following balance sheet:
Assets -
Accounts receivable $50,000
Inventory 120,000
Land 80,000
Building 270,000
Equipment 80,000
Total $600,000
Liabilities and Equity -
Current liabilities $100,000
Common stock, $5 par 60,000
Paid-in capital in excess of par 140,000
Retained earnings (July 1) 300,000
Total $600,000
The inventory is understated by $20,000 and is sold in the third quarter of 2015. The building has a fair value of $320,000 and a 10-year remaining life. The equipment has a fair value of $120,000 and a remaining life of 5 years. Any remaining excess is attributed to goodwill.
From July 1 through June 30, 2016, Seine had net income of $100,000 and paid $10,000 in dividends.
