28. (40 Minutes) (Series of questions about a business combination and its income
tax reporting)
a. Partial equity method. “Income of Soludan” is 80% of Soludan’s reported total.
b. $12,000. Reduction is evidenced by a $338,000 figure reported for consolidated
inventory rather than the $350,000 total for the two companies.
f. $20,000. For both receivables and liabilities, the consolidated total is $20,000
less than the sum of the two companies.

28.(continued)
h. Because the trademarks balance now stands at $32,500, amortization expense
of $2,500 has been recognized, $2,500 in the previous year. In addition, an
$8,000 unrealized gross profit from the prior year (see part g.) is recognized.
Amortization expense—prior year × 80%……………..…… $2,000
i. This figure is computed as follows:
Book value of subsidiary—1/1 ………..………………………. $370,000
Unrealized gross profit in beginning inventory (see above) (8,000)
Realized book value ………..………..………..………….…….. $362,000
Ending noncontrolling interest …………….…………………. $94 ,100
j. For a consolidated return, unrealized gross profit are deferred as in the
consolidated statements. At a 40% rate, both the expense and payable would be
$117,400.
Income tax expense ………..…………………..………..………… 117,400
Income tax payable ………….………………..………………. 117,400
Consolidated Taxable Income:
k. On a separate return, Politan would report its operating income of $200,000
leading to a tax expense and payable of $80,000. Because of the level of
ownership, intra-entity dividend (or investment) income is omitted.
Income Tax Expense ……………………..………..………..…….. 80,000
28.k. (continued)
On a separate return, Soludan would report $100,000 operating income for a
payable of $40,000. The unrealized gross profits are accounted for in different
time periods in the financial statements, thus, a temporary difference is created.
Income Tax Expense ……………………..………..………..…….. 38,400
Deferred Income Tax Asset…….…………………..………….... 1,600
Income Tax Payable …………………………….…………….. 40,000
Soludan’s entry can also be computed as follows:
Income tax expense ………..…………………..………..……………….……… $38,400
Taxes payable………….………..………..………..………..……………………… 40,000
Deferred tax asset ……….………..………..………..………..…………………..….. $ 1 ,600
