Explanation:

Note: There are mistakes the names of the companies in the requirements a anb b. These correctly restated before answering the question by as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $291,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $262,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry.

2. Record the excess value (differential) reclassification entry.

The answers and explanation are therefore given as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $291,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.1)                    175,000

Goodwill (w.2)                                    25,000  

     Investment in Scrub Company                           291,000

(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)  

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

Goodwill to be recognized                                                  25,000  

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $262,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.3)                    175,000

     Investment in Scrub Company                           262,000

     Capital reserve (w.4)                                                4,000

(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)  

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.

The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.

When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.

i tried to find the answe for you im sorry.

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
