Question 2 (25 marks)
On July 1, 2013 Party Inc. acquired 75% of the outstanding shares of Stag Ltd. for a cash consideration of
$2,250,000. On that date, the shareholders' equity of Stag Ltd. consisted of common shares of
$1,600,000, contributed surplus of $200,000 and retained earnings of $400,000. The book values of
Stag's identifiable assets and liabilities approximated their fair values except that inventories were
overvalued by $50,000, capital assets with a cost of $1,200,000 and accumulated amortization of
$400,000 had a fair value of $1,000,000, and long-term debt had a book value that was $100,000 higher
than its fair value. In addition, Stag had unrecorded intangible assets with a fair value of $240,000. The
inventories on hand on the acquisition date were all sold before the end of 2013. The capital assets had
a remaining useful life of eight years and the long-term debt matured on June 30, 2018. The unrecorded
intangibles had an economic life of six years. Amortization of intangibles is included in other expenses.
Party Inc. decided to account for its investment in Stag using the cost method and to value the
noncontrolling interest in Stag based on the fair value of its identifiable net assets on the acquisition
date (parent company extension approach). Goodwill was tested for impairment each year and
impairment of $42,500 was identified in 2014 and a further impairment of $40,000 was identified in
2016.
The following transactions took place between the acquisition date and January 1, 2016:
