Accounting Nov 28, 2020

 McGuire Company acquired 90 percent of Hogan... McGuire Company acquired 90 percent of Hogan Company on January 1, 2019, for $234,000 cash. This amount is reflective of Hogan's total acquisition- date fair value. Hogan's stockholders' equity consisted of common stock of $160,000 and retained earnings of $80,000. An analysis of Hogan's net assets revealed the following: Book Value $10,000 Fair Value $ 8,000 Buildings (10-year life) Equipment (4-year life) Land 14,000 5,000 18,000 12,000 Any excess consideration transferred over fair value is attributable to an unamortized patent with a useful life of 5 years. In consolidation at December 31, 2019, what net adjustment is necessary for Hogan's Patent account? 
$8,800. $7,000. $7,700. $5,600.

Expert Solution

Common Stock 80,000
Retained Earnings 160,000
Land (12000-5000) 7,000
Equipment (18000-14000) 4,000
Building (8000-10000) (2,000)
Total fair value of firm excluding patents 249,000
Less: Proportionate investment made including Non-controlling Interest (234,000/90%) 260,000
Thus Value of patents as on date of acquisition 11,000

Patent have a life of 5 years. Thus amortisation per year is 11,000/5 = $ 2,200.

Hence adjustable value as on Dec 31= 11,000-2,200= $ 8,800

Hence Option A is correct.
