On January 1, 2014, Powers Company acquired 80% of the common stock of Sculley Company for $280,000. On this date Sculley had total owners' equity of $200,000 (common stock, other paid-in capital, and retained earnings of $10,000, $90,000, and $100,000 respectively).
All book values of all identifiable assets and liabilities of Sculley were equal to their fair values except:
-Manufacturing equipment (depreciation expense goes to CGS) was undervalued by $45,000. The equipment has a remaining life of five years and straight-line depreciation is used.
-Patents worth 20,000 were not recorded. The excess to the patents is to be amortized over 20 years.
On January 1, 2015, Powers held merchandise acquired from Sculley for $10,000. During 2015, Sculley sold merchandise to Powers for $50,000, $30,000 of which is still held by Powers on December 31, 2015. Sculley's usual gross profit on affiliated sales is 50%. As of December 31, 2015, Powers owed $10,000 to Sculley for merchandise purchased during 2015.
On December 31, 2014, Powers sold an administrative building (depreciation expense goes to operating expense) to Sculley at a gain of $10,000. During 2015, the building was used by Sculley. Depreciation is being computed using the straight-line method, a five-year life, and no salvage value.
Both companies have a calendar-year fiscal year.
Assume that during 2014 and 2015, Powers has appropriately accounted for its investment in Sculley using the equity method.
