On January 1, Year 2, Page Company acquired 70% of the outstanding common shares of Sage Ltd. for $45,500 in cash. On that date, Sage had $20,000 in common shares outstanding and $20,000 in retained earnings. At the time of the acquisition, the book value of each of Sage’s assets was equal to its fair value except for the following:

The buildings and equipment had a remaining useful life of 10 years on the acquisition date, and the inventory on hand at the time of the purchase was sold in Year 2. Any excess paid over the fair value was for Sage’s good reputation in the herb industry, which Page set up as goodwill. Following are the financial statements for Page and Sage at December 31, Year 9.

During Years 8 and Year 9, Sage sold merchandise to Page at a price that provides it with a gross profit of 50%. The Year 9 sale was $10,000. Page’s December 31, Year 9, inventory contained $2000. Therefore, $2600 of the merchandise would be remaining. The December 31, Year 8, inventory of Page contained $1000. At the end of Year 9, Page owed Sage $500 for merchandise inventory purchased on account. This liability is non-interest bearing.

On December 31, Year 6, Page sold equipment having a cost of $5000 and accumulated depreciation of $1000 to Sage for $5000. The remaining useful life of the equipment at the time of the sale was 10 years.

In Year 5, the goodwill impairment test resulted in a $5000 loss, and for Year 9, goodwill was further impaired by $714.

Neither company paid dividends during Year 9. Both companies have a 40% tax rate.
