32) On January 2, 2016, Porous, Inc. acquired an 80% interest in Simtex Corporation for $2,250,000. Simtex
reported total stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000 on this date. An examination of Simtex’s books revealed
that book value was equal to fair value for all assets and liabilities except for inventory, which was
undervalued by $150,000. All of the undervalued inventory was sold during 2016.
Porous also purchased 30% of the $1,250,000 par value outstanding bonds of Simtex Corporation for
$350,000 on January 2, 2016. The bonds mature in 10 years, carry an 11% annual interest rate payable on
June 30 and December 31, and had a carrying value of $1,270,000 on the date of purchase. Both companies
use the straight-line method to amortize bond discounts and premiums.
Porous reported net income of $750,000 for 2016 and paid dividends of $325,000 during 2016. Simtex
Corporation reported net income of $800,000 for 2016 and paid dividends of $225,000 during the year.

Carrying value of debt – 12/31/2016 $1,268,000
2. Stated interest (30% of $1,250,000 × 0.11) $41,250

Add: Discount amortization [($25,000/20) × 2 periods)] 2,500
Interest revenue $43,750
3. Stated interest ($1,250,000 × 0.11) $137,500

Less: Premium amortization [($20,000/20) × 2] 2,000
Interest expense $135,500
4. Cost of bond investment (1/2/2016) $350,000

[($1,270,000 - $1,250,000) × 0.30] = 6,000
Less: Constructive gain recorded during year (600)
Income after adjustment in constructive gain 655,400
× 0.80
Porous’s share of adjusted income 524,320
Controlling interest in consolidated net income $1,116,820
Implied value of investment ($2,250,000/0.80) $2,812,500

Book value of equity acquired 2,500,000
Difference between implied and book value 312,500
