Mammoth Enterprises purchased 50 percent of the outstanding stock of Atom Inc. on December 31 for $60,000
Question:
Mammoth entered into a debt covenant earlier in the year that requires the company to maintain a debt/ equity ratio of less than 1:1.
REQUIRED:
a. Compute Mammoths debt/equity ratio both before and after the acquisition. Consider non-controlling a liability. Do a consolidation even though Mammoth only purchased 50 percent of the steel.
b. Explain why in this situation Mammoth would probably prefer the equity method instead of treating this transaction as a purchase and preparing consolidated financial statements.
