On January 1,2022, Aronsen Company acquired 90 percent of Siedel Company's outstanding shares. Siedel had a net book value on that date of $500,000 : common stock ( $10 par value) of $300,000 and retained earnings of $200,000.
Aronsen paid $766,800 for this investment. The acquisition-date fair value of the 10 percent noncontrolling interest was $85,200. The excess fair value over book value associated with the acquisition was used to increase land by $304,000 and to recognize copyrights (16-year remaining life) at $48,000. Subsequent to the acquisition, Aronsen applied the initial value method to its investment account.
In the 2022-2023 period, the subsidiary's retained earnings increased by $100,000. During 2024, Siedel earned income of $103,000 while declaring $43,000 in dividends. Also, at the beginning of 2024, Siedel issued 15,000 new shares of common stock for $32 per share to finance the expansion of its corporate facilities. Aronsen purchased none of these additional shares and therefore recorded no entry.
