Question textAcquisitions achieved in stages (step acquisitions) Assume that a parent company gains control over its subsidiary with the purchase of a 45% interest for $180,000. Prior to this transaction, the parent’s Equity Investment account reports a balance of $112,000 on the acquisition date and represents a 35% interest in the subsidiary. The fair value of 100% of the subsidiary on the date the parent obtains control of the subsidiary is $400,000 (assume no premium for control). Prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition.

Step-by-Step Analysis
The prompt presents a complex acquisition scenario where a parent company gains control of a subsidiary by purchasing 45% for 180,000, on top of already holding 35% (with an equity investment balance of 112,000). The subsidiary’s fair value (FV) of equity on the date of obtaining control is 400,000. You are asked to prepare journal entries to record the acquisition and to fill in multiple blanks. First, restating the key givens: - Parent previously held 35% equity in the subsidiary, with an Equity Investment account balance of 112,000. - Parent purchases an additional 45% for 180,000, giving it 80% control (35% + 45% = 80%). - FV of 100% of the subsidiary at acquisition date = 400,000. - There is no premium for control mentioned beyond the purchase price; we proceed with standard consolidation logic. Step 1: Determine the implied total values at acquisition - Since the parent already had 35% and acquires 45% for 180,000, the combined ownership becomes 80%. The arithmetic for the fair value of the subsidiary’s equity on the acquisition date is given as 400,000 for 100% of the subsidiary. Therefore, the FV of the controlling interest (80%) would be 0.80 × 400,000 = 320,000. - The noncontrolling interest (NCI) at acquisition date is the portion not owned by the parent, i.e., 20% of the subsidiary. On a fair value basis, NCI = 0.20 × 400,000 = 80,000. Step 2: Determine goodwill on consolidation (at acquisition date) - Goodwill is calculated as: FV of subsidiary (100%) − parent's share of subsidiary's net assets (at FV for the portion the parent controls) − fair value of any previously held equity?
