Part C: (1) On January 1, 2018, Panorama Company acquired 80% of Scann Corporation for $6,400,000. At acquisition, Scann's assets and liabilities' fair value matched book value except for equipment undervalued by $80,000 (remaining 4 years life) and inventories undervalued by $20,000 (sold in 2018). Panorama's net income was $1,100,000 in 2018 and $1,150,000 in 2019; Scann's net income was $300,000 in 2018 and $360,000 in 2019. Dividends paid by Scann were $60,000 in both 2018 and 2019. Required: Calculate the investment in Scann on Panorama's ledger and consolidated statements at Dec 31, 2018 and 2019; also, determine consolidated net income and noncontrolling interest balances, with detailed calculations and explanations.

Paper For Above instruction

The provided assignment encompasses complex financial and accounting topics, including acquisition accounting, investment valuation, consolidation processes, and intercompany transaction adjustments, which are vital competencies for advanced accounting and finance professionals. This essay will systematically analyze and address each component, integrating theoretical principles with practical calculations to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the material.

Introduction

In the realm of corporate finance and accounting, acquiring and consolidating financial data of subsidiaries is essential for accurate reporting, strategic decision-making, and compliance with accounting standards. The scenario presented involves an acquisition by Panorama Company of a majority stake in Scann Corporation, followed by detailed calculations of investment valuation, consolidated net income, and the effects of intercompany transactions. Implementing the equity method for investment valuation and adjusting for fair value discrepancies forms the foundation for precise financial reporting. Additionally, understanding intercompany sale eliminations and their impact on consolidated financial statements is crucial for transparency and accuracy.

Part 1: Investment in Scann—Equity Method Calculations

Initially, Panorama's investment in Scann reflects the purchase price of $6,400,000. As per accounting standards (ASC 323 and IFRS 10), the equity method requires adjustments for the investor’s share of the investee’s net income, dividends, and fair value adjustments. The book value of Scann's net assets at acquisition was equal to fair value, except for equipment undervalued by $80,000 and inventories by $20,000, which affects future depreciation and cost of goods sold calculations.

Adjusted net income attributable to Panorama (80%) is calculated by adjusting Scann's net income for depreciation and fair value differences:

  • Equipment undervaluation: $80,000 / 4 years = $20,000 depreciation expense per year
  • Inventories undervaluation: $20,000 / 1 year (sold in 2018) = $20,000 impact in 2018

Therefore, the adjusted net income for 2018 is:

Scann's net income: $300,000

Less: Depreciation on equipment undervaluation: $20,000

Less: Adjustment for inventory undervaluation sold in 2018: $20,000

Adjusted net income: $260,000

Panorama's share (80%) of adjusted net income: $208,000 in 2018, and for 2019, adjusted net income is:

Scann's net income: $360,000

Less: Equipment depreciation: $20,000

Less: Inventory correction: $20,000

Adjusted net income for 2019: $320,000

Panorama's share (80%) of 2019 adjusted income: $256,000.

The investment account on Panorama’s ledger at December 31, 2018, is adjusted as follows:

  • Starting investment: $6,400,000
  • Add: Share of 2018 adjusted net income: $208,000
  • Less: Dividends received: $48,000 (80% of $60,000)

Thus, ending investment balance as of December 31, 2018, is:

$6,400,000 + $208,000 - $48,000 = $6,560,000

Similarly, at December 31, 2019:

  • Starting from the 2018 ending balance: $6,560,000
  • Add: Share of 2019 adjusted net income: $256,000
  • Less: Dividends received in 2019: $48,000

The closing balance at December 31, 2019, is:

$6,560,000 + $256,000 - $48,000 = $6,768,000

Part 2: Investment in Scann—Consolidated Financial Statements

In consolidation, the investment account represents the parent’s interest in the net assets of the subsidiary. Thus, the "Investment in Scann" does not appear as a line item on the consolidated balance sheet; instead, the focus is on the net assets of the combined entity, adjusted for fair value differences, eliminating entries, and intra-group transactions.

Part 3: Consolidated Net Income Calculation

Consolidated net income reflects the combined net income of Panorama and Scann, adjusted for intra-group transactions, fair value adjustments, and minority interests. Using the provided data:

  • Net income of Panorama: $1,100,000 in 2018, $1,150,000 in 2019
  • Net income of Scann: $300,000 in 2018, $360,000 in 2019
  • Adjustments for fair value depreciation ($20,000/year) impact both years.

For 2018:

  • Net income: $300,000 – $20,000 (equipment depreciation) = $280,000
  • Parent net income: $1,100,000
  • Consolidated net income is calculated by summing parent and subsidiary net incomes after adjustments:

    $1,100,000 + $280,000 = $1,380,000

    In 2019:

  • Net income: $360,000 – $20,000 = $340,000
  • Consolidated net income: $1,150,000 + $340,000 = $1,490,000

    Part 4 & 5: Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) Balances

    The NCI share (20%) is calculated based on the fair value of net assets, including adjustments. The initial NCI at acquisition is:

    • Total fair value of net assets: acquisition price ($6,400,000 / 80%) = $8,000,000
    • Less: fair value adjustments ($80,000 equipment + $20,000 inventory): total $100,000

    So, the fair value of net assets attributable to NCI: 20% of net assets adjusted for fair value discrepancies. The NCI balance is further adjusted each year for the NCI share of net income and dividends.

    At December 31, 2018, NCI balance can be summarized as:

    • Initial NCI based on fair value: $1,600,000 (20% of $8,000,000)
    • Add: 20% share of adjusted net income: $52,000
    • Less: 20% share of dividends: $12,000

    Resulting NCI balance at year-end 2018: $1,640,000. Similarly, at December 31, 2019, adjustments lead to a balance of approximately $1,696,000.

    Conclusion

    Accurate consolidation requires diligent adjustments for fair value discrepancies, intra-group transactions, and minority interests. The calculations above exemplify how investment accounting, net income adjustments, and NCI valuations inform true financial positioning, critical for decision-makers and regulatory compliance. Remaining attentive to fair value adjustments and intercompany eliminations ensures transparent, reliable financial statements that accurately reflect the economic reality of corporate groupings.
