1. EXERCISE 4-2:
Park Company purchased 90% of the stock of Salt Company on January 1, 2009, for $465,000, an amount equal to $15,000 in excess of the book value of equity acquired. This excess payment relates to an undervaluation of Salt Company’s land. On the date of purchase, Salt Company’s retained earnings balance was $50,000. The remainder of the stockholders’ equity consists of no-par common stock. During 2013, Salt Company declared dividends in the amount of $10,000, and reported net income of $40,000. The retained earnings balance of Salt Company on December 31, 2012, was $160,000. Park Company uses the cost method to record its investment.
Required:
Prepare in general journal form the workpaper entries that would be made in the preparation of a consolidated statements workpaper on December 31, 2013.

4. EXERCISE 4-3:
At the beginning of 2009, Presidio Company purchased 95% of the common stock of Succo Company for $494,000. On that date, Succo Company’s stockholders’ equity consisted of the following:
Common stock $300,000
Other contributed capital ,000
Retained earnings 1/1/ ,000
Total $520,000
During 2017, Succo Company reported net income of $40,000 and distributed dividends in the amount of $19,000. Succo Company’s retained earnings balance at the end of 2016 amounted to $160,000. Presidio Company uses the equity method.
Required:
Prepare in general journal form the workpaper entries necessary in the compilation of consolidated financial statements on December 31, Explain why the partial and complete equity methods would result in the same entries in this instance.

The balance in the investment account at the beginning of the year is $532,000, which is computed as:[$494,000 + (.95 x ($160,000 – $120,000))] = $532,000

7. In this instance, the partial and complete equity methods result in the same entries because the amount paid for the acquisition of Succo is exactly 95% of Succo’s book value. Thus, there are no asset adjustments and no excess amortization or depreciation to consider. The equity income under the complete equity method is the same as under the partial equity method (95% of reported income of Succo).

8. EXERCISE 4-4: Poco Company purchased 85% of the outstanding common stock of Serena Company on December 31, 2009, for $310,000 cash. On that date, Serena Company’s stockholders’ equity consisted of the following:
Common stock $240,000
Other contributed capital 55,000
Retained earnings 1/1/ ,000
$345,000
During 2012, Serena Company distributed a dividend in the amount of $12,000 and at year end reported a net loss of $10,000. During the time that Poco Company has held its investment in Serena Company, Serena Company’s retained earnings balance has decreased $29,500 to a net balance of $20,500 after closing on December 31, Serena Company did not declare or distribute any dividends in 2010 or The difference between book value and the value implied by the purchase price relates to goodwill.
Required:
Assume that Poco Company uses the equity method. Prepare in general journal form the entries needed in the preparation of a consolidated statements workpaper on December 31, Explain why the partial and complete equity methods would result in the same entries in this instance.

12. Goodwill 19,706 Difference (IV&BV) 19,706
The partial equity and the complete equity methods result in the same entries because the excess of the cost over fair value of net assets is allocated to goodwill, a non-amortizable asset. If any of this excess is allocated to depreciable assets or intangible assets with limited lives (subject to amortization), additional expenses will be recorded under the complete equity method.

13. To establish reciprocity (.85 ( ($50,000 – $42,500))
Part B – Workpaper entries 12/31/09 - Cost Method
Under Cost method, before elimination of the investment account, a workpaper entry is made to the investment account and P Company’s beginning retained earnings to recognize P’s share of the cumulative undistributed income or loss of S Company from the date of acquisition to the beginning of the current year as follows:
Retained Earnings 1/1 - Poco Company 6,375

15. EXERCISE 4-5:
On January 1, 2009, Plate Company purchased a 90% interest in the common stock of Set Company for $650,000, an amount $20,000 in excess of the book value of equity acquired. The excess relates to the understatement of Set Company’s land holdings.
