A business combination is the process of forming a single economic entity by the uniting
of two or more organizations under common ownership. The term also refers to the
entity that results from this process.
(1) A statutory merger is created whenever two or more companies come together to
form a business combination and only one remains in existence as an identifiable entity.
This arrangement is often instituted by the acquisition of substantially all of an
enterprise’s assets. (2) a statutory merger can also be produced by the acquisition of a
company’s capital stock. This transaction is labeled a statutory merger if the acquired
company transfers its assets and liabilities to the buyer and then legally dissolves as a
corporation. (3) A statutory consolidation results when two or more companies transfer
all of their assets or capital stock to a newly formed corporation. The original companies
are being “consolidated” into the new entity. (4) A business combination is also formed
whenever one company gains control over another through the acquisition of
outstanding voting stock. Both companies retain their separate legal identities although
the common ownership indicated that only a single economic entity exists.
Consolidated financial statements represent accounting information gathered form two
or more separate companies. This data, although accumulated individually by the
organizations, is brought together (or consolidated) to describe the single economic
entity created by the business combination.
Companies that form a business combination will often retain their separate legal
identities as well as their individual accounting systems. In such cases, internal financial
data continues to be accumulated by each organization. Separate financial reports may
be required for outside shareholders (a noncontrolling interest), the government, debt
holders, etc. This information may also be utilized in corporate evaluations and other
decision making. However, the business combination must periodically produce
consolidated financial statements encompassing all of the companies within the single
economic entity. A worksheet is used to organize and structure this process. The
worksheet allows for a simulated consolidation to be carried out on a regular, periodic
basis without affecting the financial records of the various component companies.
Three characteristics are normally indicative of a purchase:
(1) One of the companies can clearly be identified as the acquiring party;
(2) A bargained exchange transaction has taken place to form the business
combination;
(3) A purchase price can be determined as the cost incurred by the acquiring company
to gain control over the acquired company.
Conversely, a pooling of interests is viewed as the uniting of ownership interests through
the exchange of equity securities. In such transactions, (1) the distinction between
acquirer and acquiring company is not always clear and (2) the price of the transaction
may not be easy to determine. More precise characteristics of a pooling of interests can
be seen in the 12 criteria established by the Accounting Principles Board. These
requirements hold, in part, that substantially all of one company must be obtained (at

least 90 percent) in a transaction that is carried to conclusion within one year. In
addition, assets cannot be sold off unless duplication results from the combination.
APB Opinion Number 16 specifies several situations in which the fair market value of
the 50,000 shares being issued might be difficult to ascertain. These examples include:
 The shares may be newly issued (if Jones has just been created) so that no
accurate value has as of yet been established;
 Jones may be a closely held corporation so that no market value is available for its
shares;
 The number of newly issued shares (especially if the amount is large in comparison
to the quantity of previously outstanding shares) may cause the price of the stock to
fluctuate widely so that no accurate market value can be determined during a
reasonable period of time;
 Jones’ stock may have historically experienced drastic swings in price. Thus, a
quoted figure at any specific point in time may not be an adequate or representative
value for long-term accounting purposes.
In every business combination, the assets and liabilities of the acquiring company retain
their book values. The problem facing the accountant is the recorded basis to be used
for the assets and liabilities of the acquired company. For a purchase, these accounts
are traditionally consolidated at fair market value with any excess payment being
attributed to goodwill. If the acquiring company pays an amount less than fair market
value, the difference is accounted for by decreasing the values assigned to the
noncurrent assets (other than long-term marketable securities). A deferred credit will
also have to be recognized if the reduction is of sufficient size. In a pooling of interests,
the book values of the two companies provide the basis for consolidating assets and
liabilities.
In a purchase the revenues and expenses (both current and past) of the parent are
included within reported figures. However, the revenues and expenses of the subsidiary
are only consolidated from the date of the acquisition forward. The operations of the
subsidiary are only applicable to the business combination if earned subsequent to its
creation.
For a pooling of interests, where neither company is considered to be truly in a parent or
subsidiary position, the revenues and expenses are consolidated as if the two
companies had always been joined.
Morgan’s additional purchase price may be attributed to many factors: favorable
earnings projections, competitive bidding to acquire Jennings, etc. However, in
accounting for a purchase combination, any amount paid by the parent company in
excess of the subsidiary’s fair market value is reported as goodwill.
This business combination must be accounted for as a purchase because the
acquisition was consummated by a cash transaction. Normally, in a purchase, all of the
subsidiary’s asset and liability accounts are recorded at fair market value (see Answer 7
above). However, since Lambert paid less than the total fair market value for Catron’s
net assets, a full allocation in this manner is not possible. When a bargain purchase
has occurred APB Opinion 16 requires that a proportional reduction be recorded in the
values reported for noncurrent assets (other than long-term investments in marketable
securities). If the decrease is of such a magnitude that these accounts will be
consolidated at zero values, any further reduction is recognized as a deferred credit.
When shares are issued in a purchase, they are recorded at their fair market value as if
the stock had actually been sold with the money obtained being used to acquire the

subsidiary. The Common Stock account is recorded at the par value of these shares
with any excess amount attributed to additional paid-in capital.
In a purchase, all consolidation costs are included in the purchase price being paid to
obtain the subsidiary. Consequently, the $98,000 is an added component of this price.
An exception is made, though, for any stock issuance costs. Such costs are recorded
as a reduction in additional paid-in capital (or retained earnings, if an Additional Paid-in
Capital account does not exist). The $56,000 will be recorded in that manner.
When two companies are brought together in a pooling of interests, all income balances
from previous operations are reported through combined totals. Thus, in reporting
current and past time periods, all figures are shown as if the two companies had always
been a single entity.
In a purchase, the acquired company’s earnings that were generated during periods
preceding the combination are totally omitted. For reporting purposes, only the
acquiring company’s revenues and expenses are included for the periods prior to the
purchase while the income figures of both companies are combined thereafter.

the subsidiary’s net assets ($1,650,000), all accounts are recorded at fair
market value with the excess being attributed to goodwill
10. C Because the purchase price was $1.5 million, less was paid than the fair
market of the subsidiary’s net assets ($1,650,000). This bargain purchase
of $150,000 is assigned to land and buildings based on their relative fair
market values: land 40% and buildings—60%. A $60,000 reduction is
assigned to the Land account and a $90,000 reduction is assigned to the
Buildings account. These balances are consolidated after these reductions
to their fair market values.

a. Purchases are recorded at the fair market value sacrificed. In this case,
20,000 shares were issued valued at $55 per share. Thus, the purchase
price is $1.1 million.
b. The book value is found by subtracting the assets from the liabilities.
For Bakel, the assets are $1,380,000 and the liabilities are $400,000 for a
book value of the company’s net assets of $980,000. The same total can
be derived from the stockholders’ equity accounts after closing out
revenues and expenses.
c. In a purchase, stock issue costs are recorded as a reduction in
additional paid-in capital. Other direct costs of a combination are added
to the purchase price
d. The par value of the 20,000 shares issued is recorded as an increase of
$100,000 in the Common Stock account. The $50 market value in excess
of par value ($55 - $5) is an increase in additional paid-in capital of $1
million ($50 x 20,000 shares).

and development is typically reported as an expense in the year of the
acquisition assuming (1) no alternative use for the assets involved in
the research and development, and (2) no resulting products hvae
reached technological feasibility.

g. In a purchase, any revenues and expenses of the subsidiary from the
period before the combination was created are omitted from the
consolidated totals. Only the operational figures for the subsidiary after
the purchase are applicable to the business combination. The previous
owners earned any previous profits.
h. The subsidiary’s Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital
accounts have no impact on the consolidated totals.
i. The subsidiary’s asset and liability accounts will be consolidated at
their fair market values with any excess payment being attributed to
goodwill. The equity, revenue, and expense figures of the subsidiary do
not affect the business combination at the date of acquisition. The
parent must record the issuance of the 20,000 new shares and the
payment of the stock issue costs.
j. If the stock was worth only $40 per share, the purchase price is now
$800,000. This amount indicates a bargain purchase:

The bargain purchase figure must be allocated between the land and
building based on their fair market values of $400,000 (40%) and $600,000
(60%). Therefore, all of the assets and liabilities will be consolidated at fair
market value except that the land will be reported at $92,000 below market
value ($230,000 x 40%) and the building will be reported at $138,000 below
market value ($230,000 x 60%).

As a purchase, the stock being issued is valued at its market value of
$250,000. This purchase price is also increased by the $10,000 direct
combination cost leading to a total price of $260,000. The $20,000 stock
issue cost is a reduction in additional paid-in capital. The Journal entries

On the date the business combination is formed, the assets and liabilities
of Sun have a net book value of $560,000 but a fair market value of
$680,000.
a. Because Parrot acquires 100 percent of Sun in a business combination
accounted for as a purchase, the fair market value of each of the
subsidiary's assets and liabilities are consolidated. Goodwill is
calculated as $80,000, the amount that the $760,000 purchase price
exceeds the $680,000 fair market value of Sun.
Inventory—$670,000 (Parrot's book value plus Sun's fair market value)
Land—$710,000 (Parrot's book value plus Sun's fair market value)

b. Because Parrot acquires 100 percent of Sun in a business combination
accounted for as a purchase, the fair market value of each of the
subsidiary's asset and liability accounts are consolidated. The $580,000
purchase price (cash plus value of stock issued plus $20,000 In direct
combination costs) is $100,000 below the $680,000 total fair market
value, thus necessitating a write-down within the consolidation
process. A reduction of this type is always made against the noncurrent
assets (other than financial and other specific assets). Thus, in this
combination, the $100,000 is apportioned as follows based on the fair
market values of the subsidiary's noncurrent asset accounts:
Land
110,000/660,000 = 1/6 x ($100,000) = ($16,667)
Buildings
330,000/660,000 = 1/2 x ($100,000) = ($50,000)
Equipment 220,000/660,000 = 1/3 x ($100,000) = ($33,333)
Inventory—$670,000 (Parrot's book value plus Sun's fair market value)
Land—$693,333 (Parrot's book value plus Sun's fair market value but
Less the $16,667 reduction calculated above)
Buildings—$880,000 (Parrot's book value plus Sun's fair market value
but less the $50,000 reduction calculated above)
Goodwill—-0- (Bargain purchase)
Revenues—$960,000 (parent company figure)
Additional Paid-in Capital—$265,000 (Parrot's book value after issuance
of 10,000 new shares at a value $20 above par but also less $5,000 in
stock issuance costs)
Expenses—$920,000 (parent company figure)

Premtick’s Journal entry to create the combination is based on the book
value of Starten. However, the shares issued have a par value that is
$10,000 larger than the $300,000 contributed capital of Starten. Normally,
this excess would be recorded as a reduction to Premtick’s additional paid
in capital. Since Premtick does not have an Additional Paid-in Capital
account, the reduction is made to retained earnings in the following entry:
Investment in Starten (book value) ................
Common Stock (par value) ........................
Retained Earnings ......................................
(book value of Starten less $10,000)
700,000
310,000
390,000
This entry raises Premtick’s retained earnings to $1,190,000
29. B As a pooling of interests, Atkins’ journal entry to create this combination is
based on the book value of Waterson ($175,000). The 51,000 shares being
issued have a par value of $51,000. Since Waterson reports total
contributed capital of $65,000 (common stock plus additional paid-in
capital), Atkins must record $14,000 as its own additional paid-in capital.
Atkins also records $110,000 in retained earnings, a balance that equals
that of Waterson. The $14,000 and $110,000 additions bring Atkins’ equity
accounts to $104,000 and $410,000.
30. B Book values are combined in a pooling of interests.
31. B In a pooling, all income is combined retroactively.
32. B In issuing its shares, Allen will credit $80,000 to its Common Stock account
(par value). A credit of $20,000 will then be made to Allen’s Additional Paidin Capital to equal the $100,000 total paid-in capital shown by Tucker. This
entry increases Allen’s APIC account to $30,000. In the same manner
Tucker’s beginning retained earnings is added to Allen’s beginning
retained earnings.

33. B In issuing its shares, Allen will credit $160,000 to its Common Stock
account (par value). A reduction of $60,000 is, therefore, necessary to
Allen’s Additional Paid-in Capital account to arrive at the $100,000 total
paid-in capital shown by Tucker. However, since Allen is only reporting
$10,000 in APIC, the remaining $50,000 decrease is made to retained
earnings. Thus, consolidated additional paid-in capital has become zero
and retained earnings is:
Allen’s balance at January 1, 2000 .......................................
Tucker’s balance at January 1, 2000 ....................................

(20 Minutes) (Asks for verbal discussion of the pooling of interests
method.)
a. In a pooling of interests, the recorded book value of all assets and
liabilities of the two separate companies are simply added to become
the recorded amounts for the combined corporation. The existing basis
of accounting is continued. A business combination that is accounted
for as a pooling of interests is a combination of the ownership interests
of two previously separated companies. Since only the ownership
changes, no event has occurred that mandates a change in recorded
values. The existing basis of accounting continues for both companies.
A change in company ownership should not necessitate adjustments in
the reported value of either assets or liabilities.
b. For a pooling of interests, the registration fees and any other direct
costs relating to effecting the business combination should be
deducted in determining the net income of the resulting combined
corporation for the period in which the expenses are incurred. In this
manner, the recorded value of all assets, liabilities, and capital accounts
are not changed by the combination.
c. Although the companies combined during the year, in a pooling of
interests, the combination is reported as if the companies had always
been combined. Revenues for both companies for the entire year are
reported as well as expenses. Operations are combined retroactively.

(25 Minutes) (Overview of the steps in applying the pooling of interests
method.)
a. The book value is found by subtracting assets from liabilities. For
Harcourt, the assets are $1,490,000 and the liabilities are $800,000 for a
book value of the company’s net assets of $690,000. The same total can
be derived from the stockholders’ equity accounts after closing out
revenues and expenses.
b. In a pooling of interests, stock issuance costs and all other direct costs
of creating the business combination are expensed as incurred.
c. Poolings of interest are recorded retroactively. For this reason, the entry
to record the issuance of the shares is made using the book value of
Harcourt as of the first day of the year. That figure can be found from
the stockholders’ equity accounts, using the beginning retained
earnings figure for the period ($100,000 + $90,000 + $440,000 or
$630,000).
In this entry, Lee’s common stock must be recorded at its par value of
$200,000. Since Harcourt’s total contributed capital is only $190,000, a
reduction in additional paid-in capital must be shown of $10,000.
Investment in Harcourt (book value) ........................ 630,000

Common Stock (par value) ..................................
Retained Earnings, 1/1/00

200,000

d. The par value of the shares issued is reduced which changes the
amount recorded to additional paid-in capital.
Investment in Harcourt (book value) ........................ 630,000

e. The par value of the shares issued is increased which changes the
amount of the reduction in additional paid-in capital.
Investment in Harcourt (book value) ........................ 630,000
Additional Paid-In Capital .......................................... 110,000
Common Stock (par value) ..................................

f. In a pooling of interests, the companies are consolidated retroactively
as if they had always been together. Hence, the revenues and expenses
(both currently and in the past) from the two companies are included in
the reported figures. Since a change in ownership occurred rather than
a change in the companies, the previous operations are still considered
to be applicable.
g. The subsidiary’s assets and liability accounts will be consolidated at
their book values. The revenue and expense figures of the subsidiary
are also recorded at their book values. The parent must record the
issuance of the new shares and the payment of the stock issuance
costs. The equity accounts of Harcourt do not directly affect the
consolidation but do have an impact on the amounts recorded by Lee at
the time that the new shares are issued.

Bingham's issuance of 10,000 shares of stock must first be recorded as
well as the $10,000 in direct combination costs and the $20,000 in stock
issue costs. Both of these costs must be expensed in a pooling of
interests.
In recording the stock issue, Bingham reduces additional paid-in capital
by $10,000 so that the total paid-in capital being recorded ($100,000 par
value less $10,000 reduction) equals the total paid-in capital of Laredo
($90,000 common stock). Book value at 1/1/00 is determined from
stockholders' equity accounts.

b. Parrot must first record its issuance of 16,000 shares of stock. For this
entry, the investment account is recorded at the $540,000 book value of
Sun at the beginning of the current year (stockholders' equity using
beginning retained earnings). Paid-in capital accounts must be recorded
by Parrot at a total value of $300,000 to agree with the sum of those
same accounts as reported by Sun. Since the par value of the issued
stock is $320,000, additional paid-in capital must be reduced by $20,000.
The Retained Earnings is then recognized at $240,000 to reflect the
income of Sun Company earned prior to the formation of the business
combination. The entry prepared by Parrot would be as shown below.
The $8,000 stock issuance cost is recorded as an expense.

c. As a pooling of interests, book value will serve as the basis for the
consolidated figures. Again, Parrot must first record the issuance of Its
shares (19,000 in this case). The investment account is recorded at the
$540,000 book value of Sun as of the beginning of the current year.
Paid-in capital accounts should be recorded in this entry at $300,000 to
agree with the total of those same accounts as reported by Sun.
However, after recording the $380,000 par value of the stock issued, a
$80,000 decrease in Additional Paid-in Capital would be necessary.
Since Parrot's Additional Paid-in Capital account only shows a $70,000
balance, the remaining $10,000 is offset against Retained Earnings. To
absorb this amount, Parrot will record a net increase of only $230,000 in
Retained Earnings rather than the $240,000 balance presently reported
by Sun.

(30 Minutes) (Consolidated balances for a pooling of interests)
As a pooling of interests, the stock being issued by Hope must be recorded
based on the book value of Kaisley's stockholders' equity accounts.
However, Kaisley's total contributed capital of $430,000 is less than the par
value ($450,000) of the shares issued by Hope. Thus, additional paid-in
capital is reduced here by $20,000. Since this combination is a pooling of
interests, the transaction is recorded based on the beginning of year book
value as shown by the stockholders' equity accounts.

a. Green Co. must initially prepare a journal entry to record the issuance of
8,000 shares of Its stock. This entry is based on the $280,000 book value
of Gold Co. as of January 1, 2000: the $70,000 book value of Gold's
paid-in capital plus the $210,000 balance in Gold's retained earnings as

The $10,000 reduction in additional paid-in capital in this entry brings

total paid-in capital.

expense the $12,000 that It pays for direct consolidation costs.

b. Green will initially record the same two entries shown in a., the first for
the issuance of the 8,000 shares and the second for the payment of the
$12,000 in direct combination costs. Subsequently, the $280,000
investment in Gold Company account will be removed and replaced by
the specific accounts of Gold. As a pooling of interests, all assets and
liabilities will be entered at book value. In addition, current revenues
and expenses of Gold will be recorded even though they were incurred
prior to the creation of the combination. Note that the investment holds
a January 1, 2000, balance while the assets and liabilities being
recorded are set at December 31, 2000, balances. The difference is
reconciled by recording Gold's revenues and expenses for the period.

Prove those figures with a worksheet.)
a. As a pooling of interests, the book value of Swathmore will be retained.
Thus, the market value figures given in the problem are not used in
producing the consolidation.
Since no investment account appears on Lincoln’s balance sheet, no
journal entry has been made for the issuance of the 7,000 shares of
