On January 1, 2016, Pride Corporation purchased 90 percent of the outstanding voting shares of Star, Inc. for $469,000 cash. The acquisition-date fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $52,100. At January 1, 2016, Star’s net assets had a total carrying amount of $364,700. Equipment (eight-year remaining life) was undervalued on Star’s financial records by $48,000. Any remaining excess fair value over book value was attributed to a customer list developed by Star (four-year remaining life), but not recorded on its books. Star recorded net income of $42,000 in 2016 and $48,000 in 2017. Each year since the acquisition, Star has declared a $12,000 dividend. At January 1, 2018, Pride’s retained earnings show a $150,000 balance.

Selected account balances for the two companies from their separate operations were as follows:

Pride Star
2018 Revenues $ 298,900 $ 171,100
2018 Expenses 210,200 117,100

Answer:

Consolidated net Income

Pride retained earnings at Jan 1 2018                        $150,000

profit of pride for the year (  $298,900 - $210200)     88,7000

share of profit from post acquisition retained of Star

90% (  $42,000 + 48,000 + 171,100 - 117,100 -(3 x 6000))  113,400

                                                                                              352,100

Explanation:

to get consolidated net income, the total retained earnings of Pride will added with the share of post acquisition profit from star. Also the additional depreciation from the undervalued equipment will be adjusted for before the profit is share between the parent company and the subsidiary.

the addition depreciation = $48,000/8 = $6,000. since acquisition was done in 2016, the depreciation will be conducted for 3 years i.e 3 x $6000 = $18,000
