P4-33: Price Corporation acquired 100 percent ownership of Saver Company on January 1,
20X8, for $128,000. At that date, the fair value of Saver’s buildings and equipment was $20,000
more than the book value. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a 10-year basis. Although
goodwill is not amortized, Price’s management concluded at December 31, 20X8, that goodwill
involved in its acquisition of Saver shares had been impaired and the correct carrying value was
$2,500.
Trial balance data for Price and Saver on December 31, 20X8, are as follows:

ANSWER
1) Record the acquisition of Saver Company by Price Company on January 1, 20X8:
Investment in Saver 128,000
Cash 128,000
*Note: 128,000 = given
2) Give all consolidation entries needed to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately
after the acquisition.
Depreciation Expense 2,000
Goodwill and Impairment Loss 5,500
Income from Saver 7,500
*Note:
2,000 = 10,000 / 5
5,500 = 128,000 – (60,000 + 40,000) – 20,000 (building) – 2,500
7,500 = 2,000 + 5,500
3) Give all journal entries recorded by Price with regard to its investment in Saver during 20X8
Cash 16,000
Investment in Saver 16,000
*Note: 16,000 = given

5) Determine the balances that would be reported on December 31, 20X8 consolidated financial
statements for the following accounts: Building and Equipment, Goodwill, Depreciation
Expense, Accumulated Depreciation, Retained Earnings, Income from Saver Company.
Building and Equipment = 350,000 + 150,000 + 20,000 – 30,000 = 490,000
Goodwill = 2,500
Depreciation Expense = 25,000 + 10,000 + 2,000 = 37,000
Accumulated Depreciation = 145,000 + 40,000 – 30,000 + 2,000 = 157,000
Retained Earnings = 131,000
Income from Saver Company = 16,500 – 24,000 + 7,500 = 0
