Question

Pitino acquired 90 percent of Brey's outstanding shares on January 1, 2016, in exchange for $567,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $551,000 and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $63,000 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Brey's accounting records was undervalued by $38,000. Pitino assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Brey's patented technology (five-year remaining life).

Brey reported net income from its own operations of $89,000 in 2016 and $105,000 in 2017. Brey declared dividends of $31,500 in 2016 and $35,500 in 2017.

Year	Cost to Brey			Transfer Price to Pitino			Inventory Remaining at Year-End (at transfer price)
2016	$	94,000		$	240,000		$	50,000
2017		143,000			260,000			62,000
2018		171,000			285,000			65,000

At December 31, 2018, Pitino owes Brey $41,000 for inventory acquired during the period.

The following separate account balances are for these two companies for December 31, 2018, and the year then ended.

Answer 1

1. Retained Earnings Opening balance of Company Brey = Opening Balance - Unrealized Gross profit

Retained Earnings Opening balance of Company Brey = 328000 - 62000 * (260000 - 143000) / 260000

Retained Earnings Opening balance of Company Brey = 328000 - 27900

Retained Earnings Opening balance of Company Brey = $300100

2. Controlling Interest = (Common Stock in B + Retained Earnings) * 90%  

Controlling Interest = (350000 + 300100) * 90%

Controlling Interest = $585090

Non Controlling interest = (350000 + 300100) * 10%

Non Controlling interest = $65010
