Consolidated Financial Statements & Goodwill Impairment Loss

Question 1: Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements

The following financial statements were prepared on December 31, Year 6:

Pearl purchased 80% of the outstanding voting shares of Silver for $3,300,000 on July 1, Year 2, at which time Silver’s retained earnings were $445,000 and accumulated depreciation was $69,000.  The acquisition differential on this date was allocated as follows:

20% to undervalued inventory;

40% to equipment with a remaining useful life of 8 years;

the balance to goodwill.

Pearl accounts for its investment in Silver using the cost method and values the non-controlling interest in its subsidiary based on its fair value on the acquisition date, proportionate to the price paid for its controlling interest.

During Year 3, a goodwill impairment loss of $79,000 was recognized, and an impairment test conducted as at December 31, Year 6, indicated that a further loss of $29,000 had occurred.

Amortization expense is to be grouped with cost of goods sold.

Silver owes Pearl $84,000 on December 31, Year 6.
