Sophisticated equity method adjustments, consolidated worksheet. (This is the same as Problem 3 2, except the sophisticated equity method is used.) On January 1, 20X1, Peres Company purchased 80% of the common stock of Soll Company for $308,000. On this date, Soll had common stock, other paid in capital, and retained earnings of $50,000, $100,000, and $150,000, respectively.

On January 1, 20X1, the only tangible assets of Soll that were undervalued were inventory and the building. Inventory, for which FIFO is used, was worth $10,000 more than cost. The inventory was sold in 20X1. The building, which is worth $25,000 more than book value, has a remaining life of 10 years, and straight line depreciation is used. The remaining excess of cost over book value is attributable to goodwill.
