Primo and Sato Company Acquisition Analysis
In asset acquisition adjustments for Sato Company, property and equipment are recognized at a fair value exceeding the book value by ₱50,000, ensuring the fair presentation of assets. Similarly, for Gab Inc., while the book values reportedly match fair values, noncurrent assets require adjustment by additional ₱205,000 as overstated Dolce’s valuations are corrected by ₱30,000. These adjustments highlight discrepancies bridging book figures and fair market assessments, which affect consolidated financial statements through goodwill creation and accurate NCI computations .
For Primo Corporation, the consolidated cash and cash equivalents are ₱140,000, calculated as ₱100,000 from Primo and ₱40,000 from Sonia, reflecting 65% ownership influence. For Puro Corp., the consolidated cash is ₱160,000, combining ₱70,000 from Puro and ₱90,000 from Sato, factoring in 80% ownership while evaluating proportional influence without explicit NCI adjustment in given figures .
The amount of non-controlling interest in Sato Company is calculated based on the fair value of the net identifiable assets. It is equal to 20% of Sato Company's fair value of assets (₱300,000), resulting in a non-controlling interest amount of ₱60,000 .
The consolidated retained earnings reported for Primo Corporation is ₱567,000. This amount corresponds to the retained earnings of Primo as the acquirer since no additional fees or adjustments are mentioned to affect the retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet .
Key adjustments for Dolce Inc. when incorporating Gab Inc.'s assets and liabilities include adjusting for the fair value of Gab's noncurrent assets, which should increase by ₱205,000 from their book value. Dolce's noncurrent assets are overstated by ₱30,000, which needs correction. Also, contingent consideration of ₱15,000 and costs directly attributable to the acquisition, such as share issuance costs of ₱74,000 and other acquisition costs of ₱19,000, should be considered, impacting the overall acquisition accounting .
The consideration transferred by Dolce Inc. for Gab Inc.’s net assets includes 30,000 shares issued at a market value of ₱25 each (₱750,000) and cash payment of ₱125,000, totaling ₱875,000. Additionally, there is a contingent consideration of ₱15,000, bringing the total consideration to ₱890,000. Acquisition costs incurred amount to ₱19,000, which while not affecting consideration transferred, impact financial reporting; share issuance costs of ₱74,000 do not affect the consideration calculation itself but are part of wrap-around acquisition costs .
The total liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet for Puro Corp. and Sato Company are calculated by summing up the current and long-term liabilities of both companies: Puro Corporation's liabilities total ₱380,000 (current: ₱180,000, long-term: ₱200,000), and Sato Company's total liabilities are ₱150,000. Thus, total pre-consolidation liabilities are ₱530,000, but consolidation adjustments like removal of intra-group liabilities (if any exist) must be checked from detailed bookkeeping that take NCI and inter-company transactions into account .
Goodwill reported in the acquisition of Sato Company by Puro Corporation is ₱20,000. This is determined by calculating the difference between the controlling interest of ₱260,000 and the book value of acquired net assets, which is the sum of Sato's common stock and retained earnings, both totaling ₱300,000. The calculated goodwill is a result of the total consideration being higher than the book value .
The percentage ownership of Sonia Company by Primo Corporation is calculated using the formula: Percentage of Ownership = Price Paid / Amount of Investment. Primo paid ₱307,000 for Sonia's stock, with the total investment value amounting to ₱470,000. Therefore, the percentage ownership is 307,000 / 470,000, which equals 65.32%, rounded off to 65% .
The fair value of Sonia Company’s net assets as of January 2, 2021, is ₱460,000. This is calculated by adjusting Sonia's book value of net assets of ₱320,000 with a ₱40,000 increase in inventory value and a ₱100,000 increase in equipment value: 320,000 + 40,000 + 100,000 = ₱460,000 .
