1. Assume that the Washington Company bonds bear interest at 6% payable annually on December 31; that the Seattle Company acquired its share of the bonds, $500,000, on January 1, 19x1; that the fair market value of the bonds was exactly equal to their carrying value at the date the Seattle Company acquired 90% of the Washington Com-pany stock. The bonds will mature on December 31, 19x3. Amortization of bond premium is based on the straight-line method. On the consolidated trial balance on Decem-ber 31, 19x1, the correct eliminating entry for the inter-company bonds and intercompany interest is:

A. Debit: Loss on Bond Retirement for $10,000, Bonds Payable for $500,000, and Interest Income for $30,000. Credit: Investment in Washington Company Bonds for $515,000 and Interest Expense for $25,000.

B. Debit: Loss on Bond Retirement for $15,000, Bonds Payable for $500,000, and Interest Income for $30,000. Credit: Investment in Washington Company Bonds for $515,000 and Interest Expense for $30,000.

C. Debit: Retained Earnings for $15,000, Bonds Payable for $500,000, and Interest Income for $30,000. Credit: Investment in Washington Company Bonds for $515,000 and Interest Expense for $30,000.

D. Debit: Loss on Bond Retirement for $20,000, Bonds Payable for $500,000, and Interest Income for $25,000. Credit: Investment in Washington Company Bonds for $515,000 and Interest Expense for $30,000.

2. Assume the same situation as in question 3 with respect to the bonds except that the consolidated balance sheet at the end of 19x2 is being prepared for the separate balance sheets. 'The correct eliminating entry would require a debit to Retained Earnings-Seattle for
A. 0.          C. $10,000.
B. $5,000.  D. $15,000.

3. Assume that the Washington Company assets and liabilities on January 1, 19x0, had fair market values exactly equal to book values and that the Seattle Company uses the cost method of accounting for its investment. The Washington Company earned $20,000 during 19x0 and paid no dividends. If goodwill is being amortized over the maximum period, and if there were no other intercompany transactions, the correct amount of consolidated net income for 19x1 would be
A. $209,250.     C. $222,000.
B. $217,250.     D. $230,000.
