Consolidation
entries at date of acquisition (purchase price greater than book
value)
A parent company exchanges 12,000 shares of its $2 par value common
stock, with a fair value of $9/share, for all of the shares owned
by the subsidiary’s shareholders. On the acquisition date, the
subsidiary reported $30,000 of contributed capital (i.e., common
stock) and $45,000 of Retained Earnings. An examination of the
subsidiary’s balance sheet revealed that book values were equal to
fair values for all assets except for PPE (net), which has a book
value of $40,000 and a fair value of $73,000.
