On November 30, 2017, Buffet, Inc. purchased for cash at ₱15 per share all 250,000 shares of the
outstanding common stock of Shaw Co. At November 30, 2017, Shaw’s balance sheet showed a carrying
amount of net assets of ₱3,000,000. At that date, the fair value of Shaw’s property, plant and equipment
exceeded its carrying amount by ₱400,000.
In its November 30, 2017 consolidated balance sheet, what amount should Buffet report as goodwill?
ANSWER: ₱350,000 | In an acquisition, the net assets of the acquired firm are recorded at their FV. The
excess of the cost of the investment over the FV of the net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The cost
of this investment is ₱3,750,000 (250,000 shares × ₱15), and the FV of the net assets acquired, excluding
goodwill is ₱3,400,000 (₱3,000,000 + ₱400,000). Therefore, the amount allocated to goodwill is ₱350,000
(₱3,750,000 – ₱3,400,000).

BB Pauwi Na Ko, Inc. opens a sales agency in Makati City, and a working fund for ₱20,000 is established on
the imprest basis. The first payment from the fund is ₱3,000 for rent.
What is the journal entry, if any, that the home office should record for this transaction?
ANSWER: None / No entry | In adopting the imprest system for the agency working fund, the home office
writes a check to the agency for the amount of the fund. Establishment of the fund is recorded on the home
office books by a debit to the Agency working fund and credit cash. The agency will request fund
replenishment whenever the fund runs low and at the end of each fiscal period. Such a request is normally
accomplished by an itemized and authenticated statement of disbursements and the paid vouchers. Upon
sending the agency a check in replenishment of the fund, the home office debits expense.

account is a
a. Revenue account
b. Non-current liability account

In Kaloka’s December 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet, what amount should be reported as total
retained earnings?
ANSWER: P1,240,000 | When the equity method of accounting is used, the parent company’s retained
earnings will be equal to the consolidated retained earnings balance. It can be determined that the equity
method is being followed because the account “Equity in earnings of Taranta” appears in the parent’s
income statement. In addition it is important to note that the balance sheet accounts presented are dated as
of the end of the year; therefore, the parent company’s retained earnings of P1,240,000, should already
include all income statement balance account adjustments. Thus, no additional income amounts will need to
be added to the P1,240,000 retained earnings balance, in order to determine the total retained earnings
balance.

Planet Company acquired a 70% interest in the Star Company in year 1. For the year ended December 31,
year 2, Star reported net income of ₱80,000. During year 2, Planet sold merchandise to Star for ₱10,000 at
a profit of ₱2,000. The merchandise remained in Star’s inventory at the end of year 2. For consolidation
purposes what is the non-controlling interest’s share of Star’s net income for year 2?
ANSWER: 24,400 | Because Planet owns 70% interest in Star, the non-controlling interest in star is 30%.
Therefore, the non-controlling interest’s share in Star’s net income of ₱80,000 is 30% × ₱80,000 = ₱24,000.
Planet’s sale of merchandise to Star for ₱10,000 will be eliminated on the consolidated worksheet, and
Planet’s income will be reduced by the intercompany profit of ₱2,000. This will not affect the non-controlling
interest’s share of income because it was a downstream sale from the parent to the subsidiary and is
eliminated by the parent.

Ryan, Ge, and Kim are partners with average capital balances during 2016 of ₱120,000, ₱60,000, and
₱40,000, respectively. Partners receive 10% interest on their average capital balances. After deducting
salaries of ₱30,000 to Ryan and ₱20,000 to Kim, the residual profit or loss is divided equally. In 2016, the
partnership sustained a ₱33,000 loss before interest and salaries to partners. By what amount should
Ryan’s capital account change?
ANSWER: 7,000 increase | When dividing the partnership loss of ₱33,000, first interest and salaries are
allocated to the partners, increasing their capital balances. This allocation of interest and salaries will also
increase the amount of loss. This increased loss amount would then be allocated to the partners, decreasing
their capital accounts. The computations are shown below.

The governing board of Hirap Hospital, a nonprofit hospital affiliated with a religious organization, acquired
100 BaMI Company bonds for P103,000 on June 30, 2016.
The bonds pay interest on June 30 and December 30. On December 31, 2016, interest of P3,000 was received
from BaMI, and the fair value of the BaMI bonds was P105,000. The governing board acquired the BaMI bonds
with cash which was unrestricted, and it classified the bonds as trading securities at December 31, 2016, since
it intends to sell all of the bonds in January 2017.
As a result of the investment in BaMI bonds, what amount should be included in revenue, gains, and other
support on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016?
ANSWER: 5,000 | According to the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Health Care Organizations,
unrealized gains on trading securities should be included as part of the amount reported for revenue, gains,
and other support on the statement of operations. These unrealized gains are included in the performance
indicator. Likewise, unrestricted revenues from interest and dividends are included as part of the amount
reported for revenue, gains, and other support on the statement of operations. Therefore, Hirap Hospital
should report both the P3,000 of interest revenue and the P2,000 unrealized holding gain (P105,000 less
P103,000) in the amount reported for revenue, gains, and other support on its statement of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2016.

The partners have decided to liquidate the partnership.
If the other assets are sold for P385,000, what amount of the available cash should be distributed to Erwin?
ANSWER: 136,000 | This situation represents a simple liquidation since all assets are distributed at one
point in time rather than in installments. In a simple liquidation all of the noncash assets are sold and the
proceeds from their sale are compared to their book value to compute the gain or loss. The gain or loss on
the assets is then distributed to the partners’ accounts before any of the cash is distributed. The partner loan
should not be considered a noncash asset for the purpose of determining gain or loss, thus, Erwin is
responsible to the partnership for the repayment of the entire amount of the loan. The repayment of the loan
reduces that partner’s (Erwin) distribution as follows:
Partner balances
before liquidation
Loan (debit)
Capital (credit)
