Question:

Jeter Corporation purchases 80% of the outstanding stock of Super Company for $275,000 on July 1, 2015. Super Company has the following stockholders’ equity on July 1, 2015:

Common stock ($5 par). Retained earnings, July 1, 2015 Total equity $150,000 50,000 $200,000

The fair values of Super’s assets and liabilities agree with the book values, except for the equipment and the building. The equipment is undervalued by $10,000 and is thought to have a 5-year life; the building is undervalued by $50,000 and is thought to have a 20-year life. The remaining excess of cost over book value is attributable to goodwill. Jeter Corporation uses the simple equity method to record its investments.

Since the purchase date, both firms have operated separately, and no intercompany transactions have occurred. Super Company closes its books on the date of acquisition.

The separate trial balances of the firms on December 31, 2015, are as follows:

Cash Land Building Accumulated Depreciation Building. Equipment Accumulated Depreciation Equipment.
