Ezequiel Abbott · Answer 1

The consolidated net income for the year 2018 of pride corporation is $203000

Explanation:

Consideration transferred by Pride $540,000

Non controlling interest fair value 60,000 =

Star acquisition-date fair value $600,000 - Star book value 420,000

= Excess fair over book value $180,000

Amort.

To equipment (8 year remaining life) $ 80,000/8 = $10,000

To customer list (4 year remaining life) 100,000/4 = $25,000

= $35,000

Combined revenues=$498000+$285000 = $783,000

Combined expenses = $350000+$195000=$545,000

Excess fair value amortization = $35,000 - $545000=$ 580,000

Consolidated net income = Combined revenues-Excess fair value amortization

Consolidated net income=$783,000 - $ 580,000 = $203,000

Hence the consolidate net income for the year 2018 is $203000
