Example Question #1 :Derivatives, Hedging, And Foreign Currency Transactions
During Year 1, the James Company buys all outstanding shares of the Holmes company for $4 million even though Holmes has net assets with a fair value of only $3.5 million. One reason for this excess payment is that Homes owns land worth $1.5 million with a book value of only $800,000. Prior to the purchase of Holmes, James owned its own land with a book value of $400,000 and a fair value of $700,000. Two years later, both companies still own this land and both have acquired additional acreage. James reports land at a book value of $1 million and fair value of $1.1 million; Holmes reports land with a book value of $2 million and a fair value of $2.5 million. At what amount will land be reported at the end of Year 3 in the consolidated balance sheet?
$3.6 million
$3 million
$3.5 million
$3.1 million
$3 million
The consolidated statements will include the combined book values of the land owned by each company ($1M in land owned by James + $2M in land owned by Holmes).
Example Question #3 :Derivatives, Hedging, And Foreign Currency Transactions
Hope Company owns 100% of the outstanding shares of Howard Company. During the current year, Hope sold inventory costing $80,000 to Howard for $90,000. This inventory has since been sold to a third party and Howard has not paid Hope for the purchase. At the balance sheet date, Hope has total current assets of $850,000 and Howard has total current assets of $550,000. Assume that there were no allocations established at the date of acquisition. What is the total amount of current assets reported in the consolidated balance sheet?
$1,310,000
$1,320,000
$1,400,000
$850,000
$1,310,000
The consolidated statements will include the combined book values of each company's current assets, but outstanding intercompany balances will be removed. Thus the consolidated statements include $850K owned by Hope + $550K owned by Howard - $90K receivable due for the inventory.
