Question

On January 1, 2017, Figland Company purchased for cash 40% of Irene Company’s 300,000 shares of voting common stock for $1,800,000. At the time, 40% of the book value of the underlying equity in Irene’s net assets was $1,400,000; $50,000 of the excess was attributed to the excess of fair value over book value of inventory, which Irene accounts for using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory method; and $150,000 was attributed to undervaluation of depreciable assets with an average remaining life of 10 years. The remainder was attributed to implicit goodwill. As a result of this transaction, Figland can exercise significant influence over Irene’s operating and financial policies. Irene’s net income for the year ended December 31, 2017, was $600,000. During 2017, Irene paid $325,000 in dividends to its stockholders.

What would be the balance in the Investment in Irene Company account on December 31, 2017? Answer is 1,845,000

I need help with Create a consolidated Balance sheet as of Jan 1,2017

Explanation / Answer

1) Total share of income of Figland = $600,000 * 40% = $ 240,000

Less: Inventory adjustment = ( $ 50,000)

Less:Depreciation Adjustment = $150,000/10 years = ($ 15,000)

Income to be reported = $ 175,000

2) Cost of Investment = $1,800,000

   Add: Income reported = $ 175,000

Less: Dividend received = $ 325,000 * 40% = ($ 130,000)

Balance of investment on December 31, 2017 = $ 1,845,000

( Note :- for creating consolidated balance sheet, the required data of Figland and Irene is not given .So it is not possible to create consolidated balance sheet with the lack of information)
