Dallas Investment in Style 132,000 Other Assets 138,000

A

303,000
CS 50,000 + APIC 80,250 + RE 139,750 + non controlling interest 33,000 = 303,000

non controlling interest = BB 30,000 + NCI share of income 4,000 - NCI dividends paid 1,000 = 33,000

BB = 120,000/.8 = 150,000 x .2 = 30,000
NCI share of income Style’s RE EB 51,000 + 5,000 dividend paid - 36,000 BB = 20,000 x .2 = 4,000

Because this lacks commercial substance and the boot is greater than 25% both companies will record as a monetary exchange.
Charm gave up 3,000 BV old truck and 2,000 cash for new truck of 5,000. These net to zero so no gain or loss recognized.

Q

Link Paid 50,000 and gave land with a carrying amount of 320,000 and FV of 450,000 in an exchange that lacks commercial substance. The FV of the land from Link was 500,000 BV 350,000.

How much should Link record on its books
How much should Club record on its books

A

Link 370,000
Club 315,000

Because the exchange lacks commercial substance the asset will be recorded as NBV surrendered plus boot paid or gain recognized minus boot received or loss recognized.
Link because paid Club boot then all of Links realized gain 450-320 is deferred. So the land on Links books is NBV 320+cash paid 50 = 370

Club received cash and in an exchange that lacks commercial substance. So Club will recognize a gain equal in proportion to the cash received and the total FV received. cash received 50,000/(450,000+50,000)=10%
Clubs gain 500,000-350,000=150,000 x .1 = 15,000
Dr Cash 50 Dr New Land 315 plug Cr old land 350,000 Cr gain 15,000

40,000/4=10,000

420,000+160,000+40,000=620,000/100,000=6.2
