Question:
Prince Corporation holds 75 percent of the common stock of Sword Distributors Inc., purchased on December 31, 20X1, for $2,220,000. At the date of acquisition, Sword reported common stock with a par value of $950,000, additional paid-in capital of $1,300,000, and retained earnings of $550,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at acquisition was $740,000. The differential at acquisition was attributable to the following items:
Inventory (sold in 20X2) | $ | 40,000 | |
Land | 56,000 | ||
Goodwill | 64,000 | ||
Total Differential | $ | 160,000 | |
During 20X2, Prince sold a plot of land that it had purchased several years before to Sword at a gain of $22,400; Sword continues to hold the land. In 20X6, Prince and Sword entered into a five-year contract under which Prince provides management consulting services to Sword on a continuing basis; Sword pays Prince a fixed fee of $82,000 per year for these services. At December 31, 20X8, Sword owed Prince $20,500 as the final 20X8 quarterly payment under the contract.
On January 2, 20X8, Prince paid $240,000 to Sword to purchase equipment that Sword was then carrying at $280,000. Sword had purchased that equipment on December 27, 20X2, for $420,000. The equipment is expected to have a total 15-year life and no salvage value. The amount of the differential assigned to goodwill has not been impaired.
