Main Elimination Journal

Explanation:

Goodwill is the excess of Purchase Consideration over the Net Assets Acquired.

Purchase Consideration  (70,000 shares × $5) = $350,000

Part 1

Calculation of Net Assets Acquired

Retained Earnings                                             $1,200,000

Common Stock                                                  $1,300,000

Revaluation                                                           $100,000

Total Net Assets Acquired                               $2,600,000

Therefore,

Net Assets Attributable to Fortuna Company = $2,600,000 × 80%

                                                                            = $ 2,080,000

Purchase Consideration $350,000 < Net Assets Acquired ($ 2,080,000), therefore we have a gain situation of $1,730,000

Part 2

2a.

Calculation of Net Assets Acquired

Retained Earnings                                             $1,200,000

Common Stock                                                  $1,300,000

Revaluation                                                           $300,000

Total Net Assets Acquired                               $2,800,000

Therefore,

Net Assets Attributable to Fortuna Company = $2,800,000 × 80%

                                                                            = $ 2,240,000

Purchase Consideration $350,000 < Net Assets Acquired ($ 2,240,000), therefore we have a gain situation of $1,890,000

2b.

Calculation of Non - Controlling Interest

Note : I have elected to measure Non-Controlling Interest as proportionate to the fair value of Net Identified Assets Acquired !

Non - Controlling Interest = Non Controlled Interest % × Total Net Assets Acquired  

                                           = 20 % × $2,800,000

                                           = $560,000

2c.

Consolidation is 100 % of Parent/ Acquirer and 100% of subsidiary (Acquired) combined.

Assets :

Fortuna Company = $6,700,000 + $350,000     = $7,050,000

Acappella Company = $2,500,000 + $300,000 = $2,800,000

Total Assets                                                            = $9,850,000

Liabilities :

Fortuna Company                                                  = $3,000,000

Acappella Company                                                = $ 800,000

Total Liabilities                                                        = $3,800,000
