On January 1, 2018, Jay Company acquired all the outstanding ownership shares of Zee Company. In assessing Zee's acquisition-date fair values, Jay concluded that the carrying value of Zee's long-term debt (8-year remaining life) was less than its fair value by $20,000. At December 31, 2018, Zee Company's accounts show interest expense of $12,000 and long-term debt of $250,000.

    consolidated income statemnt interest expense: 14,500

    net long-term debt consolidaded: 232,500

    Explanation:

    Jay thinks the long-term debt carries a discount.

    Which makes the fair value 20,000 less, thus increasing hte interest expense.

    amortization on discount: 20,000 / 8 = 2,500

    interest expense in the consolidated statement:

    12,000 + 2,500 = 14,500

    adjusted balance ofthe discount: 20,00 - 2,500 = 17,500

    long term debt: 250,000

    discount on debt 17,500

    net 232,500
