Perkins Company is considering the acquisition of Barkley, Inc. To assess the amount it might be willing to pay, Perkins makes the following computations and assumptions. A. Barkley, Inc. has identifiable assets with a total fair value of $6,000,000 and liabilities of $3,700,000. The assets include office equipment with a fair value approximating book value, buildings with a fair value 25% higher than book value, and land with a fair value 50% higher than book value. The remaining lives of the assets are deemed to be approximately equal to those used by Barkley, Inc. B. Barkley, Inc.'s pretax incomes for the years 2009 through 2011 were $470,000, $570,000, and $370,000, respectively. Perkins believes that an average of these earnings represents a fair estimate of annual earnings for the indefinite future. However, it may need to consider adjustments for the following items included in pretax earnings:

Depreciation on Buildings (each year) Depreciation on Equipment (each year) Extraordinary Loss (year 2011) Salary Expense (each year)

380,000 30,000 130,000 170,000

C. The normal rate of return on net assets for the industry is 15%. Required: A. Assume that Perkins feels that it must earn a 20% return on its investment, and that goodwill is determined by capitalizing excess earnings. Based on these assumptions, calculate a reasonable offering price for Barkley, Inc. Indicate how much of the price consists of goodwill. B. Assume that Perkins feels that it must earn a 15% return on its investment, but that average excess earnings are to be capitalized for five years only. Based on these assumptions, calculate a reasonable offering price for Barkley, Inc. Indicate how much of the price consists of goodwill. 1-2

Pierce Company is trying to decide whether to acquire Hager Inc. The following balance sheet for Hager Inc. provides information about book values.

Pierce Company expects that Hager will earn approximately $290,000 per year in net income over the next five years. This income is higher than the 14% annual return on tangible assets considered to be the industry "norm." Required: A.

Compute an estimation of goodwill based on the information above that Pierce might be willing to pay (include in its purchase price), under each of the following additional assumptions: (1) Pierce is willing to pay for excess earnings for an expected life of 4 years (undiscounted). (2) Pierce is willing to pay for excess earnings for an expected life of 4 years, which should be capitalized at the industry normal rate of return.

(3) Excess earnings are expected to last indefinitely, but Pierce demands a higher rate of return of 20% because of the risk involved. Determine the amount of goodwill to be recorded on the books if Pierce pays $1,300,000 cash and assumes Hager's liabilities.

10 A.SFAS No. 109and SFAS No. 141R[ASC 740 and805] require that a deferred tax asset or liability be recognized for likely differences between the reported values and tax bases of assets and liabilities recognized in business combinations (for example, in exchanges that are nontaxable to the selling shareholders). Does this decision change the amount of consolidated net income reported in years subsequent to the business combination? Explain. Business Ethics Question from the Textbook Part I. You are working on the valuation of accounts receivable, and bad debt reserves for the current year’s annual report. The CFO stops by and asks you to reduce the reserve by enough to increase the current year’s EPS by 2 cents a share. The company’s policy has always been to use the previous year’s actual bad debt percentage adjusted for a specific economic index. The CFO’s suggested change would still be within acceptable GAAP. However, later, you learn that with the increased EPS, the CFO would qualify for a significant bonus. What do you do and why? Part II. Consider the following: Accounting firm KPMG created tax shelters called BLIPS, FLIP, OPIS, and SOS that were based largely in the Cayman Islands and allowed wealthy clients (there were 186) to create $5 billion in losses, which were then deducted from their income for IRS tax purposes. BLIPS (Bond Linked Issue Premium Structures) had clients borrow from an offshore bank for purposes of purchasing currency. The client would then sell the currency back to the lender for a loss. However, the IRS contends the

losses were phony and that there was never any risk to the client in the deals. The IRS has indicted eight former KPMG partners and an outside lawyer alleging that the transactions were shams, illegal methods for avoiding taxes. KPMG has agreed to pay a$456 million fine, no longer to do tax shelters, and to cooperate with the government in its prosecution of the nine individuals involved in the tax shelter scheme. Many argue that the courts have not always held that such tax avoidance schemes show criminal intent because the tax laws permit individuals to minimize taxes. However, the IRS argues that these shelters evidence intent because of the lack of risk. Question In this case, the IRS contends that the losses generated by the tax shelters were phony and that the clients never incurred any risk. Do tax avoidance schemes indicate criminal intent if the tax laws permit individuals to minimize taxes? Justify your answer.

Past and proposed GAAP agree that unrealized intercompany profit should not be included in consolidated net income or assets. Briefly explain the preferred approach of eliminating intercompany profit.

Determination of the noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income differs depending on whether intercompany sales are downstream or upstream. Explain the difference in calculating noncontrolling interest for downstream and upstream sales.

Short Answer Questions from the Textbook

Does the elimination of the effects of intercompany sales of merchandise always affect the amount of reported consolidated net income? Explain.

Why is the gross profit on intercompany sales, rather than profit after deducting selling and administrative expenses, ordinarily eliminated from consolidated inventory balances?

P Company sells inventory costing $100,000 to its subsidiary, S Company, for $150,000. At the end of the current year, one-half of the goods re-mains in S Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inventory. Applying the lower of cost or market rule, S Company writes down this inventory to $60,000. What amount of intercompany profit should be eliminated on the consolidated statements workpaper?

Are the adjustments to the noncontrolling interest for the effects of intercompany profit eliminations illustrated in this text necessary for fair presentation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles? Explain.

Why are adjustments made to the calculation of the noncontrolling interest for the effects of intercompany profit in upstream but not in down-stream sales?

What procedure is used in the consolidated statements workpaper to adjust the noncontrolling interest in consolidated net assets at the be-ginning of the year for the effects of intercompany profits?

What is the essential procedural difference between workpaper eliminating entries for unrealized intercompany profit made when the selling affiliate is a less than wholly owned subsidiary and those made when the selling affiliate is the parent company or a wholly owned subsidiary?

Define the controlling interest in consolidated net income using the t-account or analytical approach.

Why is it important to distinguish between up-stream and downstream sales in the analysis of intercompany profit eliminations? Chapter 7 Elimination of Unrealized Gains or Losses on Intercompany Sales of Property and Equipment Multiple Choice 1.

In the year a subsidiary sells land to its parent company at a gain, a workpaper entry is made debiting 1. Retained Earnings - P Company. 2. Retained Earnings - S Company. 3. Gain on Sale of Land. a. 1
