Problem 1 (Recommended: review slides 3-41)

Hoyle, Schaefer and Doupnik – Chapter 5 Modified Problems 11 – I use Equity method instead
of Initial Value method
On January 1, Jarel acquired 80% of the outstanding voting stocks of Suarez for $260,000 cash
consideration. The remaining 20% of Suarez had an acquisition-date fair value of $65,000. On
January 1, Suarez possessed equipment (5-year life) that was undervalued on its book by $25,000.
Suarez also had developed several secret formulas that Jarel assessed at $50,000. These formulas,
although not recorded in Suarez’s financial records, were estimated to have a 20-year future life.
As of December 31, the financial statements appeared as follows:

During the year, Jarel bought inventory for $80,000 and sold it to Suarez for $100,000. Of these
goods, Suarez still owns 60% on December 31.

Problem 2 (Recommended: review slides 42-54)
On January 1, 2024, Corgan Company acquired 80% of the outstanding voting stock of
Smashing, Inc., for a total of $980,000 in cash and other consideration. At the acquisition date,
Smashing had common stock of $700,000, retained earnings of $250,000, and a non-controlling
interest fair value of $245,000. Corgan attributed the excess of fair value over Smashing’s book
value to various covenants with a 20-year life. Corgan uses the equity method to account for its
investment in Smashing.

During the next two years, Smashing reported the following:


Net Income Dividends
2024 150,000 35,000
2025 130,000 45,000

And Corgan reported:


Inventory purchases
from Smashing
100,000
120,000

Smashing sells inventory to Corgan using a 60% markup on cost. At the end of 2024 and 2025,
40% of the current year purchases remain in Corgan’s inventory.

1. Compute the equity method balance in Corgan’s Investment in Smashing, Inc. account as
of December 31, 2025.

2. Prepare the worksheet adjustment for the December 31, 2025, consolidation of Corgan
and Smashing.
3. What is the consolidated total of noncontrolling interest appearing on the balance sheet?
Problem 3 (Recommended: review slides 55-73)
The individual financial statements for Gibson Company and Keller Company for the year
ending December 31, 2025, follow. Gibson acquired a 60% interest in Keller on January 1,
2024, in exchange for various considerations totaling $570,000. At the acquisition date, the
fair value of the non-controlling interest was 380,000 and Keller’s book value was $850,000.
Keller had developed internally a customer list that was not recorded on its books but had
an acquisition- date fair value of $100,000. This intangible asset is being amortized over 20

merchandise was not resold to outside parties until the period following the transfer.

acquisition date, Kirby held equipment (4-year remaining life) undervalued on the financial
records by $20,000 and interest-bearing liabilities (5-year remaining life) overvalued by
$40,000. The rest of the excess fair value over book value was assigned to previously
unrecognized brand names and amortized over a 10-year life.
