P5-36 Consolidation Workpaper at End of First Year of Ownership
Power Corporation acquired 75 percent of Best Company's ownership on January 1, 20X8, for $96,000.
At that date, the fair value of Best's buildings and equipment was $20,000 more than book value. Buildings and equipment are depreciated on a 10-year basis. Although goodwill is not amortized, the management of Power concluded at December 31, 20X8, that goodwill involved in its purchase of Best shares had been impaired and the correct carrying value was $2,500.
