The following information pertains to the following 2 Questions.
On January 1, 2021, Gooch Company acquires 80% of the outstanding common stock of House Inc., for a purchase price of $12,400,000. It was determined that the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary is $3,100,000. The book value of the House’s stockholders’ equity on the date of acquisition is $10,000,000 and its fair value of net assets is $11,000,000. The acquisition-date acquisition accounting premium (AAP) is allocated $600,000 to equipment with a remaining useful life of 10 years, and $250,000 to a patent with a remaining useful life of 5 years.

Part 20
Option D
d. Noncontrolling interest, credit, $1,070,000
NCI’s portion of goodwill = 3100000 – (20% * 11000000) = 900000
NCI’s portion of AAP allocated to identifiable assets = 20% * (600000+250000) = 170000
Total AAP allocated to NCI = 900000+170000 = $1070000
Part 21
Option A
a. $5,500,000
Total AAP = purchase price+ noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary- book value of the Subsidiary’s stockholders’ equity = 12400000+3100000-10000000 = $5500000
