question 118

Essay

Several years ago Polar Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Icecap Co. The book values of Icecap's asset and liability accounts at that time were considered to be equal to their fair values. Polar's acquisition value corresponded to the underlying book value of Icecap so that no allocations or goodwill resulted from the transaction.
The following selected account balances were from the individual financial records of these two companies as of December 31, 2013:  Polar  Icecap  Inc.  Co.  Sales $896,000$504,000 Cost of goods sold 406,000276,000 Operating expenses 210,000147,000 Retained earnings, 1/1/13 1,036,000252,000 Inventory 484,000154,000 Buildings (net) 501,000220,000 Investment income  not given \begin{array}{lrrr}&\text { Polar } & \text { Icecap } \\&\text { Inc. } & \text { Co. }\\\text { Sales } & \$ 896,000 & \$ 504,000 \\\text { Cost of goods sold } & 406,000 & 276,000 \\\text { Operating expenses } & 210,000 & 147,000 \\\text { Retained earnings, 1/1/13 } & 1,036,000 & 252,000 \\\text { Inventory } & 484,000 & 154,000 \\\text { Buildings (net) } & 501,000 & 220,000 \\\text { Investment income } & \text { not given } &\end{array} Polar sold a building to Icecap on January 1, 2012 for $112,000, although the book value of this asset was only $70,000 on that date.
