On January 1, Park Corporation and Strand Corporation had condensed balance sheets as follows:

	Park		Strand
Current assets	$	94,750	$	28,100
Noncurrent assets		99,500		41,900
Total assets	$	194,250	$	70,000
Current liabilities	$	39,000	$	20,000
Long-term debt		51,250		—
Stockholders' equity		104,000		50,000
Total liabilities and equities	$	194,250	$	70,000

  

On January 2, Park borrowed $64,000 and used the proceeds to obtain 80 percent of the outstanding common shares of Strand. The acquisition price was considered proportionate to Strand’s total fair value. The $64,000 debt is payable in 10 equal annual principal payments, plus interest, beginning December 31. The excess fair value of the investment over the underlying book value of the acquired net assets is allocated to inventory (60 percent) and to goodwill (40 percent).

On a consolidated balance sheet as of January 2, what should be the amount for noncurrent liabilities?

Answer 1

Solution:

Particulars	Amount
Non current asset of park	$99,500
Non currnet asset of strand	$41,900
Excess fair value of goodwill	$12,000
Total non current assets	$153,400

Working:

Particulars	Amount
Fair value on acquisition date (64,000/80%)	$80,000
Less: Book value of strand ($28,100+$41,900-$20,000)	$50,000
Fair value in excess of book value	$30,000
Excess assigned to inventory(60%)	$18,000
Excess assigned to goodwill (40%)	$12,000
