Question 109

Essay

Palmer, a U.S. company, acquired 90% of Scala's voting stock for $32,600 in cash on January 1, 2019, when Scala's book value was $5,000. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition was $2,400. At the date of acquisition, all of Scala's assets and liabilities were reported at fair value, except for the following items:
 Date of  Acquisition  Book Value  Date of  Acquisition  Fair Value  Remaining Life  at Date of  Acquisition  Plant assets $20,000$8,00012 years  Identifiable intangible: Leaseholds 020,0005 years \begin{array} { | l | c | c | c | } \hline & \begin{array} { c } \text { Date of } \\\text { Acquisition } \\\text { Book Value }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Date of } \\\text { Acquisition } \\\text { Fair Value }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Remaining Life } \\\text { at Date of } \\\text { Acquisition }\end{array} \\\hline \text { Plant assets } & \$ 20,000 & \$ 8,000 & 12 \text { years } \\\hline \text { Identifiable intangible: Leaseholds } & 0 & 20,000 & 5 \text { years } \\\hline\end{array} The identifiable intangible meets the GAAP requirements for capitalization. All depreciation and amortization is straight-line. There is no impairment of plant & equipment or identifiable intangibles in 2019, 2020 or 2021.
Total impairment of goodwill arising from this acquisition for the years 2019 and 2020 is $3,000. Goodwill impairment for 2021 is $1,000.
Scala sells inventory to Palmer at a markup of 20% on cost. Here is information on inventory transactions for 2021. Note that the amounts are the balances reported on the books, so you need to calculate markups as appropriate.
