Brand X Inc. purchased a controlling interest in Brand Y Inc. on January 1, 2017. On that date, Brand Y Inc. had common shares and retained earnings worth $180,000 and $20,000, respectively. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. At the date of acquisition, Brand Y's assets and liabilities were assessed for fair value as follows: The balance sheets of both companies, as at December 31, 2017 are disclosed below:
The net incomes for Brand X and Brand Y for the year ended December 31, 2017 were $1,000 and $50,000 respectively. An impairment test conducted on December 31, 2017 revealed that the Goodwill should actually have a value $2,000 lower than the amount calculated on the date of acquisition. Both companies use a FIFO system, and Brand Y's inventory on the date of acquisition was sold during the year. Brand X did not declare any dividends during the year. However, Brand Y paid $51,000 in dividends to make up for several years in which the company had never paid any dividends. Brand Y's equipment and patent have useful lives of 10 years and 6 years respectively from the date of acquisition. All bonds payable mature on January 1, 2022.
Prepare Brand X's consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2017, assuming that Brand X purchased 100% of Brand Y for $350,000 and accounts for its investment using the equity method.
