Problem 10
YPILAN Investment Company has the following transactions in the common stock of CHERRY
MAE Chemicals Corporation:
a.

On January 7, 2000, YPILAN purchased 2005 shares of P100 par value common
stock at P110 per share.

b.

The CHERRY MAE Chemicals Corporation was expanding and as of March 1, 2001,
issued to YPILAN 2,000 rights each permitting them to purchase one fourth share of
common stock at par. The bid price of these stocks on March 1, 2001 was P140. There
was no quoted price for the rights.

c.

YPILAN was advised that they should use the rights. YPILAN thereafter paid for the
new shares on April 1, 2001, charging the payment to the Investment account. YPILAN
purchased 500 shares of stocks using the stock rights.

d.

The accountant felt that the cash paid for the new shares was merely an assessment
since their proportionate share in CHERRY MAE Chemicals was not changed. He credited
all dividends (5% in December of each year) to the Investment Account until the debit
was fully offset.

e.

In December, 2005, YPILAN received a 50% stock dividend from CHERRY MAE
Chemicals. The accountant did not make any entry for this dividend because the
company president expected to sell the shares received. They did sell the dividend
share in January, 2006 for P160 per share. Income was credited for the proceeds.

f.

In December, 2006, the stocks were split on a two-for-one basis and the new shares
were issued at no-par value. YPILAN found that each new share was worth P5.00 more
than the P110 per share which they had paid for their original shares so it was decided
to debit the Investment account with the additional shares received at P110 per share
and to credit income for it.

g.

In June, 2007, YPILAN sold one-half of then CHERRY MAE Chemicals holdings at
P100 per share. The proceeds was credited to the Investment account.

Problem 15
On July 1 of the current year, AISAH Company acquired 25% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of Adonis Co., at a total cost of P1,400,000. The underlying equity (net
assets) of the stock acquired by AISAH Company was only P1,200,000. AISAH Company
was willing to pay more than book value for the Adonis Company stock for the following
reasons:
a. Adonis Company owned depreciable plant assets (10-year remaining economic life)
with a current fair value of P120,000 more than their carrying amount.
b. Adonis Company owned land with a current fair value of P600,000 more than its
carrying amount.
c. AISAH Company believed Adonis Company possessed enough goodwill to justify the
remainder of the cost.
Adonis Company earned net income of P1,080,000 evenly over the current year ended
December 31. On December 31, Adonis Company declared and paid a cash dividend of
P210,000 to common stockholders. Market value of Adonis Companys share of the stock at
December 31 is P1,500,000. Adonis Company closes its accounting records on December
31. As of December 31, 2007, the Investment in Adinois common has a balance of
