Crawford Corporation acquires Nashville, Inc. The parent pays more for it than the fair value of the subsidiary’s net assets. On the acquisition date, Crawford has equipment with a book value of $418,000 and a fair value of $592,000. Nashville has equipment with a book value of $302,500 and a fair value of $366,000. Nashville is going to use push-down accounting. Immediately after the acquisition, what amounts in the Equipment account appear on Nashville’s separate balance sheet and on the consolidated balance sheet? |
$302,500 and $894,500.
$366,000 and $958,000.
$366,000 and $784,000.
$302,500 and $720,500.
Ans - $366000 and $784000 (Option 3rd)
In case of Nashville, excess of Fair value over Book value =
($366000 - $302500) = $63500. Since Nashville is going to use
push-down accounting, the value of equipment in Nashville's
separate balance sheet will increased to fair value of
$366000.
Whereas in Consolidated balance sheet, value of equipment =
($418000 book value of Crawford + $366000 Fair value of Nashville)
= $784000
