Assume that, on January 1, 2021, Sosa Enterprises paid $2,140,000 for its investment in 33,000 shares of Orioles Co. Further, assume that Orioles has 110,000 total shares of stock issued and estimates an eight-year remaining useful life and straight-line depreciation with no residual value for its depreciable assets. At January 1, 2021, the book value of Orioles' identifiable net assets was $7,160,000, and the fair value of Orioles was $10,000,000. The difference between Orioles' fair value and the book value of its identifiable net assets is attributable to $1,900,000 of land and the remainder to depreciable assets. Goodwill was not part of this transaction.

Answer 1

$2,152,750

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount would Sosa Enterprises report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co.

Acquisition price for 30% share $2,140,000

($33,000 / $110,000 * 100=30%)

Add: Net income $120,000

($ 400,000 * 30%)

Less: Dividend ($72,000)

($240,000 * 30%)

Less: Excess depreciation ($35,250)

($940,000 / 8 yrs*30%)

[$10,000,000-$7,160,000-$1,900,000)=$940,000]

Investment reported in Balance $2,152,750

Therefore the amount that Sosa Enterprises would report in its year-end 2021 balance sheet for its investment in Orioles Co is $2,152,750
