Step-by-Step Analysis
The problem presents a scenario of a parent acquiring control of a subsidiary by purchasing 45% of its equity for 180,000, while the parent already holds 35% equity in the subsidiary and has an existing Equity Investment account balance of 112,000. The fair value of 100% of the subsidiary at the acquisition date (the date the parent obtains control) is 400,000, and there is no premium for control. The task is to prepare the journal entries to record the acquisition and any subsequent step acquisitions or revaluations as indicated by the blanks and numbers provided. First, understand the core relationships and what needs to be recorded at the acquisition date. When control is obtained, the parent must consolidate the subsidiary, which involves: (a) recognizing the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets, (b) recognizing noncontrolling interest (NCI) at the acquisition date for the portion not owned by the parent, (c) eliminating the parent’s preexisting equity investment in the subsidiary against the subsidiary’s equity, and (d) recognizing any goodwill or a gain from revaluation of the subsidiary’s net assets, if applicable. Since the problem states no premium for control, the consideration transferred (180,000) does not include extra control premium beyond the fair value of the acquired ownership stake. Let’s examine the numbers in the provided answer sequence and reason through what each blank would typically contain in this type of acquisition entry sequence. -......Login to view full explanation
