Learning Objective 1
Understand and explain
different methods of
business expansion, types of
organizational structures,
and types of acquisitions.
1-2
Development of Complex Business Structures
 Reasons for Enterprise expansion
◼
Size often allows economies of scale
◼
New earning potential
◼
Earnings stability through diversification
◼
Management rewards for bigger company size
◼
Prestige associated with company size
1-3
Organizational Structure and Business Objectives
 A subsidiary is a corporation that is
controlled by another corporation,
referred to as a parent company.
Control is usually through majority
ownership of its common stock.
P
 Because a subsidiary is a separate
legal entity, the parent’s risk
associated with the subsidiary’s
activities is limited.
S
◼
1-4
Organizational Structure and Ethical Considerations
 Manipulation of financial reporting
◼
◼
◼
The use of subsidiaries or other entities to
borrow money without reporting the debt on
their balance sheets
Using special entities to manipulate profits
Manipulation of accounting for mergers and
acquisitions
⚫ Pooling-of-interests allowed for manipulation
⚫ The FASB did away with it and modified acquisition
accounting
1-5
Business Expansion: The Big Picture
 Two Types of Expansion
◼
Internal Expansion
⚫
◼
Investment account (Parent) = BV of net assets (Sub)
External Expansion
⚫
Acquisition price usually is not the same as BV, carrying value, or
even FMV of net assets

Business Expansion for Within
 New entities are created
subsidiaries
◼ partnerships
◼ joint ventures
◼ special entities
◼
 Motivating factors:
Helps establish clear lines of control and facilitate the
evaluation of operating results
◼ Special tax incentives
◼ Regulatory reasons
◼ Protection from legal liability
◼ Disposing of a portion of existing operations
◼
1-7
Business Expansion
 A spin-off
◼
Occurs when the ownership of a newly created or existing
subsidiary is distributed to the parent’s stockholders
without the stockholders surrendering any of their stock
in the parent company
 A split-off
◼
Occurs when the subsidiary’s shares are exchanged for
shares of the parent, thereby leading to a reduction in the
outstanding shares of the parent company
1-8
Control: How?
 The Usual Way
◼
Owning more than 50% of the subsidiary’s outstanding
voting stock (50% plus only 1 share will do it)
 The Unusual Way
◼
Having contractual agreements or financial arrangements
that effectively achieves control
1-9
Business Expansion through Combinations
 Traditional view
◼
Control is gained by acquiring a majority of the
company’s common stock.
 However, it is possible to gain control with
less than majority ownership or with no
ownership at all:
Informal arrangements
◼ Formal agreements
◼
⚫ Consummation of a written agreement requires
recognition on the books of one or more of the
companies that are a party to the combination.
1-10
Forms of Organizational Structure
 Expansion through business combinations
◼
◼
◼
Entry into new product areas or geographic
regions by acquiring or combining with other
companies.
A business combination occurs when “. . . an
acquirer obtains control of one or more
businesses.”
The concept of control relates to the ability to
direct policies and management.
1-11
Frequency of Business Combinations
 1960s − Merger boom
◼
Conglomerates
 1980s − Increase in the number of business
combinations
◼
Leveraged buyouts and the resulting debt
 1990s − All previous records for merger activity
shattered
 Downturn of the early 2000s, and decline in mergers
 Increased activity toward the middle of 2003 that
accelerated through the middle of the decade
◼
Role of private equity
 Effect of the credit crunch of 2007-2008
1-12
Organizational Structure and Reporting
 Merger
◼
A business combination in which the acquired
company’s assets and liabilities are combined
with those of the acquiring company results in no
additional organizational components.
 Financial reporting is based on the original
organizational structure.
1-13
Organizational Structure and Reporting
 Controlling ownership
◼
◼
A business combination in which the acquired
company remains as a separate legal entity with a
majority of its common stock owned by the
purchasing company leads to a parent–subsidiary
relationship.
Accounting standards normally require
consolidated financial statements.
1-14
Organizational Structure and Reporting
 Noncontrolling ownership
◼
The purchase of a less-than-majority interest in another
corporation does not usually result in a business
combination or controlling situation.
 Other beneficial interest
◼
◼
One company may have a beneficial interest in another
entity even without a direct ownership interest.
The beneficial interest may be defined by the agreement
establishing the entity or by an operating or financing
agreement.
1-15
Practice Quiz Question #1

control is:
a. by purchasing more than 50% of an
entity’s non-voting preferred stock.
b. by bribing the CEO.
c. by playing a video game about that
company.
d. by purchasing more than 50% of an
entity’s common stock.

Learning Objective 2
Make calculations and
prepare journal entries for
the creation and purchase of
a business entity.
1-18
Creating Business Entities
 The company transfers assets, and perhaps
liabilities, to an entity that the company has
created and controls and in which it holds
majority ownership.
◼
The company transfers assets and liabilities to
the created entity at book value, and the
transferring company recognizes an ownership
interest in the newly created entity equal to the
book value of the net assets transferred.
1-19
Creating Business Entities
 Recognition of fair values of the assets
transferred in excess of their carrying values
on the books of the transferring company is
not appropriate in the absence of an arm’slength transaction.
 No gains or losses are recognized on the
transfer by the transferring company.
1-20
Creating Business Entities
 If the value of an asset transferred to a newly
created entity has been impaired prior to the
transfer and its fair value is less than the
carrying value on the transferring company’s
books, the transferring company should
recognize an impairment loss and transfer the
asset to the new entity at the lower fair value.
1-21
Internal Expansion: Creating a subsidiary
 Parent sets up the new legal entity.
◼
Based on state laws
 Parent transfers assets to the new company.
 Subsidiary begins to operate.
 Example: Parent sets up Sub and transfers
$1,000 for no-par stock.

Learning Objective 3
Understand and explain
the differences between
different forms of
business
combinations.
1-25
Forms of Business Combinations
 A statutory merger
The acquired company’s assets and liabilities are
transferred to the acquiring company, and the acquired
company is dissolved, or liquidated
◼ The operations of the previously separate companies are
carried on in a single legal entity
◼
 A statutory consolidation
◼
Both combining companies are dissolved and the assets
and liabilities of both companies are transferred to a
newly created corporation
1-26
Forms of Business Combinations
 A stock acquisition
◼
◼
◼
◼
One company acquires the voting shares of another
company and the two companies continue to operate as
separate, but related, legal entities.
The acquiring company accounts for its ownership
interest in the other company as an investment.
Parent–subsidiary relationship
For general-purpose financial reporting, a parent company
and its subsidiaries present consolidated financial
statements that appear largely as if the companies had
actually merged into one.

Forms of Business Combination—Details
 Option #1: Statutory Merger
◼ Peaceful Merger:
⚫ One entity transfers assets to another in exchange for stock
and/or cash.
⚫ It liquidates pursuant to state laws.
◼ Hostile Takeover:
⚫ One company buys the stock of another, creating a temporary
parent-subsidiary relationship.
⚫ The parent then liquidates the subsidiary into the parent pursuant
to state laws.
◼ The result: One legal entity survives.

different types of business
combinations through the
acquisition of stock or
assets.
1-44
Accounting for Business Combinations
 Big Picture: Valuation of the acquired company
◼
◼
◼
In the past, there were two methods:
⚫
Pooling of Interests Method (Investment = BV of Sub)
⚫
Purchase Method (Investment in Sub = FV given)
SFAS 141 (Effective July 2001) required purchase method.
SFAS 141R (Effective December 2008) modified rules—
“Acquisition Method”
⚫
FASB 141R may not be applied retroactively
1-45
Acquisition Accounting
 The acquirer recognizes all assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination and
measures them at their acquisition-date fair values.
◼
If less than 100 percent of the acquiree is acquired, the
noncontrolling interest also is measured at its acquisitiondate fair value.
 Fair value measurement
◼
The FASB decided in FASB 141R to focus directly on the
value of the consideration given.
1-46
Goodwill
 Components used in determining goodwill:
1. The fair value of the consideration given by the acquirer
2. The fair value of any interest in the acquiree already held
by the acquirer
3. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree, if any
 The total of these three amounts, all measured at
the acquisition date, is compared with the
acquisition-date fair value of the acquiree’s net
identifiable assets, and the difference is goodwill.
1-47
The Acquisition Method
 Establishes A New Basis of Accounting
 The new basis of accounting depends on the
acquirer’s purchase price (FMV) + the NCI’s (FMV).
 The depreciation cycle for fixed assets starts over
based on current values and estimates.
 If acquisition price > FMV, goodwill exists.
Recognize as an asset.
◼ Do not amortize.
◼ Evaluate periodically for possible impairment.
◼
 If acquisition price < FMV, a bargain purchase element (formerly called “negative goodwill”) exists. 1-48 The Pooling of Interests Method  No longer allowed!  The target company’s basis of accounting in its assets was used by the consolidated group.  The depreciation cycle merely continued along as if no business combination had occurred.  Goodwill was never recognized; thus, future income statements did not have goodwill amortization expense. ◼ Managers loved it! 1-49 Methods of Effecting Business Combinations  Acquisition of assets ◼ Statutory Merger ◼ Statutory Consolidation  Acquisition of stock ◼ ◼ A majority of the outstanding voting shares usually is required unless other factors lead to the acquirer gaining control Noncontrolling interest: The total of the shares of an acquired company not held by the controlling shareholder  Acquisition by other means 1-50 Valuation of Business Entities  Value of individual assets and liabilities ◼ Value determined by appraisal  Value of potential earnings ◼ “Going-concern value” based on: ⚫ A multiple of current earnings. ⚫ Present value of the anticipated future net cash flows generated by the company.  Valuation of consideration exchanged 1-51 Acquiring Assets vs. Stock  Major Decision Factors ◼ Legal considerations—Buyer must be extremely careful NOT to assume responsibility for (and thus “inherit”) the target company’s: ⚫ Unrecorded liabilities. ⚫ Contingent liabilities (lawsuits). vs. 1-52 Acquiring Assets vs. Stock  Major Decision Factors (continued) ◼ Tax considerations—Often requires major negotiations involving resolution of: ⚫ Seller’s tax desires. ⚫ Buyer’s tax desires. ◼ Ease of consummation—Acquiring common stock is simple compared with acquiring assets. vs. 1-53 Acquiring Assets  Major Advantages of Acquiring Assets ◼ ◼ Will not inherit a target’s contingent liabilities (excluding environmental). Will not inherit a target’s unwanted labor union.  Major Disadvantages of Acquiring Assets ◼ ◼ Transfer of titles on real estate and other assets can be time-consuming. Transfer of contracts may not be possible. 1-54 Acquiring Common Stock  Advantages of Acquiring Common Stock Easy transfer ◼ May inherit nontransferable contracts ◼  Disadvantages of Acquiring Common Stock May inherit contingent liabilities or unwanted labor union connection. ◼ May acquire unwanted facilities/units. ◼ Will likely be hard to access target’s cash. ◼ 1-55 Organizational Forms—What acquired?

Mark to market each subsequent period until the contingent event is resolved. 1-70 Goodwill vs. Bargain Purchase Element ➔ Goodwill  FMV Given < FMV of Net Assets ➔ Bargain Purchase Element  FMV Given = FMV of Net Assets ➔ Neither GW nor BPE  FMV Given > FMV of Net Assets
1-71
Goodwill: How to calculate it?
 Goodwill is calculated as the residual
amount.
◼
First, estimate the FMV of identifiable net assets.
⚫
Includes both tangible AND intangible assets.
Second, subtract the total FMV of all identifiable
net assets from the total FMV given by owners.
◼ The residual is deemed to be goodwill.
◼
GW = Total FMV Given – FMV of Identifiable Net Assets
1-72
Goodwill Example
Assume Bigco Corp. pays $400,000 for Littleco Inc. and
that the estimated fair market values of assets, liabilities,
and equity accounts are as follows:
Accounts Receivable $ 100,000

Goodwill: What to Do With It?
 Goodwill
◼
Must capitalize as an asset.
◼
Cannot amortize to earnings.
◼
◼
Must periodically (at least annually) assess for
impairment.
If impaired, must write it down—charge to
earnings.
1-75
Bargain Purchase Element: What to Do With It?
 Bargain Purchase Element
◼
◼
Still record assets and liabilities assumed at their
fair values.
The amount by which consideration given
exceeds the fair value of net assets is a gain to the
acquirer.
1-76
Bargain Purchase Example
Assume Bigco Corp. pays $1500,000 for Littleco Inc. and
that the estimated fair market values of assets, liabilities,
and equity accounts are as follows:

Acquisition of Intangibles
 SFAS 141R
An intangible asset should be recognized
separately from goodwill only if its benefits can
be separately identified.
◼ Finite intangible assets should be amortized over
their useful life with no arbitrary cap (i.e., no 40
year limit).
◼ Some intangible assets (such as goodwill) may
have an indefinite or infinite life. They should not
be amortized, but tested for impairment at least
annually.
◼
1-79
Intangible Assets:
 More are recognized under SFAS 141R
 Record at fair value but only if either of the
following two criteria are met:
1. Intangible arises from a legal or contractual
right.
2. Intangible does not arise from a legal or
contractual right but is separable.
1-80
Separately Recognized Intangibles
 SFAS 141R specifies that the
following should be recognized
separately from goodwill:
◼
Marketing-related intangibles
⚫
◼
Customer-related intangibles
⚫
◼
normally items protected by copyrights
Contract-based intangibles
⚫
◼
customer lists, order backlogs, etc.
Artistic-related intangibles

Acquisition Accounting
 Testing for goodwill impairment
When goodwill arises in a business combination, it
must be assigned to individual reporting units.
◼ To test for impairment, the fair value of the reporting
unit is compared with its carrying amount.
◼ If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its
carrying amount, the goodwill of that reporting unit is
considered unimpaired.
◼ If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its
fair value, an impairment of the reporting unit’s
goodwill is implied.
◼
1-85
Acquisition Accounting
 The amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill
impairment is measured as the excess of the
carrying amount of the unit’s goodwill over the
implied value of its goodwill.
 The implied value of its goodwill is determined as
the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over
the fair value of its net assets excluding goodwill.
 Goodwill impairment losses are recognized in
income from continuing operations or income
before extraordinary gains and losses.
1-86
Acquisition Accounting
 Financial reporting subsequent to a
business combination
Financial statements prepared subsequent to a
business combination reflect the combined entity
only from the date of combination.
◼ When a combination occurs during a fiscal period,
income earned by the acquiree prior to the
combination is not reported in the income of the
combined enterprise.

Learning Objective 6
Understand additional
considerations associated
with business combinations.
1-92
Additional Considerations
 Uncertainty in business combinations
◼
Measurement Period
⚫ FASB 141R allows for this period of time to
properly ascertain fair values.
⚫ The period ends once the acquirer obtains the
necessary information about the facts as of the
acquisition date.
⚫ May not exceed one year.
1-93
Additional Considerations
 Contingent consideration
Sometimes the consideration exchanged is not fixed in amount,
but rather is contingent on future events; e.g., a contingentshare agreement
◼ FASB 141R requires contingent consideration to be valued at
fair value as of the acquisition date and classified as either a
liability or equity.
◼
 Acquiree contingencies
Under FASB 141R, the acquirer must recognize all
contingencies that arise from contractual rights or obligations
and other contingencies if it is more likely than not that they
meet the definition of an asset/liability at the acquisition date.
◼ Recorded by the acquirer at acquisition-date fair value.
◼
1-94
Additional Considerations
 In-process research and development
◼
◼
◼
The FASB concluded that valuable ongoing
research and development projects of an acquiree
are assets and should be recorded at their
acquisition-date fair values, even if they have no
alternative use.
These projects should be classified as indefinitelived and, therefore, should not be amortized until
completed or abandoned.
They should be tested for impairment.
1-95
Additional Considerations
 Noncontrolling equity held prior to combination
◼
An acquirer that held an equity position in an acquiree
immediately prior to the acquisition date must revalue
that equity position to its fair value at the acquisition date
and recognize a gain or loss on the revaluation.
 Acquisitions by contract alone
◼
The amount of the acquiree’s net assets at the date of
acquisition is attributed to the noncontrolling interest and
included in the noncontrolling interest reported in
subsequent consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Investments in Common Stock
 The Cost Method
◼
Used for reporting investments in equity securities
when both consolidation and equity-method reporting
are inappropriate
 The Equity Method
◼
◼
◼
Used when the investor exercises significant influence
over the operating and financial policies of the investee
and consolidation is not appropriate
May not be used in place of consolidation if
consolidation is appropriate
Its primary use is in reporting nonsubsidiary
investments
2-6
Accounting for Investments in Common Stock
 Consolidation
◼
◼
◼
Involves combining for financial reporting the individual
assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of two or more
related companies as if they were part of a single company
Normally is appropriate when one company, referred to
as the parent, controls another company, referred to as a
subsidiary
A subsidiary that is not consolidated with the parent is
referred to as an unconsolidated subsidiary and is shown
as an investment on the parent’s balance sheet.

The Cost Method: How It Works
 General Rule
The investment remains on parent’s books at cost
⚫ Record income at the parent level ONLY when
sub declares a dividend.
◼ Generally, the sub’s income does not affect
parent’s investment account balance.
⚫ However, the parent cannot ignore the sub’s
losses.
⚫ Parent writes-down investment ONLY IF value
has been impaired.
⚫ Write-downs result in a NEW cost basis.
◼
2-13
The Cost Method: How It Works
 The cost method is a one-way street!
 The investment can be written down—but never
written up.

2-14
The Cost Method: Pros & Cons
 Pros
Minimal G/L bookkeeping by parent
◼ Simple consolidation procedures
◼
 Cons
Overly conservative valuation
◼ Parent can manipulate its reported income.
◼
Why?
⚫ Parent controls when sub pays dividends!
⚫
◼
PCO statements—if used internally or issued—
may be misleading.
2-15
The Cost Method: Key Concept
Although the parent can manipulate its
own reported net income, it can never
manipulate consolidated net income.
2-16
The Cost Method
 Used when the investor lacks the ability
either to control or to exercise significant
influence over the investee.
 Accounting Procedures
◼
The cost method is consistent with the treatment
normally accorded noncurrent assets.
2-17
The Cost Method
 At the time of purchase, the investor records its
investment in common stock at the total cost
incurred in making the purchase.
 The investment continues to be carried at its
original cost until the time of sale.
 Income from the investment is recognized as
dividends are declared by the investee.
 Recognition of investment income before a dividend
declaration is inappropriate.
2-18
Example: The Cost Method
ABC Company acquires 20 percent of XYZ Company’s
common stock for $100,000 at the beginning of the year but
does not gain significant influence over XYZ. During the year,
XYZ has net income of $60,000 and pays dividends of
$20,000. ABC Company records the following entries:
Investment in XYZ Company Stock
Cash
100,000
100,000
Record purchase of XYZ Company stock.
Cash
Dividend Income
4,000
4,000
Record dividend income from XYZ Company stock: $20,000 x 0.20.
2-19
The Cost Method
 Declaration of dividends in excess of earnings since
acquisition
◼
◼
◼
Liquidating dividends: Dividends declared by the investee in excess of
its earnings since acquisition by the investor from the investor’s
viewpoint
The investor’s share of these liquidating dividends is treated as a
return of capital, and the investment account balance is reduced by
that amount.
These dividends usually are not liquidating dividends from the
investee’s point of view.
 Acquisition at interim date
◼
Does not create any major problems when the cost method is used.
◼
Potential difficulty: liquidating dividend determination
2-20
The Cost Method
 Changes in the number of shares held
◼
Changes resulting from stock dividends, stock splits, or
reverse splits receive no formal recognition in the
accounts of the investor
 Purchases of additional shares
Recorded at cost similar to initial purchase
◼ New percentage ownership is calculated to determine
whether switch to the equity method is required
◼
 Sales of shares
◼
Accounted for in the same manner as the sale of any other
noncurrent asset
2-21

The Equity Method: How It Works
 The equity method is accrual basis driven:
◼
Record income at the parent level based on sub’s earnings
and losses—a built in valuation technique.
⚫
⚫
◼
It isn’t the same as fair value accounting.
Nevertheless, the investment generally goes up and down based
on the operations of the investee company.
Sub’s dividends reduce the parent’s investment (the
parent has less invested).

2-25
The Equity Method: How It Works
The equity method is a two-way street!
The investment can be:
1. written up based on the sub’s income AND
2. written down based on sub losses and dividends
2-26
The Equity Method: Pros and Cons
 Pros
Based on economic activity—not the parentcontrolled dividend policy.
◼ Has two built-in checking figures:
◼
Consolidated NI = Parent’s NI
⚫ Consolidated RE = Parent’s RE
⚫
 Cons
Requires continual bookkeeping.
◼ Unnecessary work if PCO statements are not
used internally or issued to outsiders.
◼
2-27
The Equity Method
 The equity method is intended to reflect the
investor’s changing equity or interest in the
investee.
 The investment is recorded at the initial
purchase price and adjusted each period for
the investor’s share of the investee’s profits
or losses and the dividends declared by the
investee.
2-28
The Equity Method
 APB Opinion No. 18 (as amended) requires that the
equity method be used for:
1. Corporate joint ventures
2. Companies in which the investor’s voting stock interest
gives the investor the “ability to exercise significant
influence over operating and financial policies” of that
company
 “Significant influence” criterion – 20 percent rule
◼
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, an investor
holding 20 percent or more of an investee’s voting stock
is presumed to have the ability to exercise significant
influence over the investee.
2-29
The Equity Method
 Investor’s equity in the investee
The investor records its investment at the
original cost
◼ This amount is adjusted periodically:
◼
Reported by Investee
Effect on Investor’s Accounts
Net income
Record income from investment
Increase investment account
Net loss
Record loss from investment
Decrease investment account
Dividend declaration
Record asset (cash or receivable)
Decrease investment account
2-30
Example: The Equity Method
ABC Company acquires significant influence over XYZ
Company by purchasing 20 percent of the common stock of
the XYZ Company for $100,000, XYZ earns income of $60,000
and pays dividends of $20,000.
 Recognition of income
This entry (equity accrual) is normally is made as an
adjusting entry at the end of the period
◼ If the investee reports a loss, the investor recognizes its
share of the loss and reduces the carrying amount of the
investment by that amount

The Equity Method
 Acquisition at Interim Date
◼
No income earned by the investee before the
date of acquisition may be accrued by the
investor
 Acquisition between balance sheet dates
◼
The amount of income earned by the investee from
the date of acquisition to the end of the fiscal period
may need to be estimated by the investor in
recording the equity accrual
2-33
The Equity Method
 Purchases of additional shares
◼
◼
If the equity method was being used to account
for shares already held, the acquisition involves
adding the cost of the new shares to the
investment account and applying the equity
method from the date of acquisition forward.
New and old investments in the same stock are
combined for financial reporting purposes.
2-34
The Equity Method
 Sale of shares
Treated the same as the sale of any noncurrent asset
◼ First, the investment account is adjusted to the date of
sale for the investor’s share of the investee’s current
earnings
◼ Then, a gain or loss is recognized for the difference
between the proceeds received and the carrying amount
of the shares sold
◼ If only part of the investment is sold, the investor must
decide whether to continue using the equity method or
to change to the cost method
◼

nonsubsidiary investments in common stock, investors
may report those investments at fair value
◼ The investor remeasures the investment to its fair value at
the end of each period
◼ The change in value is then recognized in income for the
period
◼ Normally the investor recognizes dividend income in the
same manner as under the cost method
◼
2-49
Example: The Fair Value Option
Ajax Corporation purchases 40 percent of Barclay Company’s common stock on
January 1, 20X1, for $200,000. Barclay has net assets on that date with a book
value of $400,000 and fair value of $465,000. On March 1, 20X1, Ajax receives a
cash dividend of $1,500 from Barclay. On March 31, 20X1, Ajax determines the fair
value of its investment in Barclay to be $207,000. During the first quarter of 20X1,
Ajax records the following entries:
January 1, 20X1
Investment in Barclay Stock

Make calculations and
prepare basic elimination
entries for a simple
consolidation.
2-51
Overview of the Consolidation Process
 Chapter 2 introduces the most simple setting for a
consolidation.
The subsidiary is wholly owned.
◼ It is either a created subsidiary or we assume it is
purchased for an amount equal to the book value of net
assets.
◼
Wholly Owned
Subsidiary
Partially Owned

Overview of the Consolidation Process
 The objective is to combine the financial statements
of two or more entities as if they are a single
corporation.
 The consolidation worksheet facilitates the
combining of the two companies.
 Certain accounts need to be eliminated in the
consolidation process to avoid “double counting.”
◼
Replaces “one-line” consolidation with the “detail.”

Overview of the Consolidation Process
 In the consolidation worksheet, the three
financial statements need to articulate.
◼
◼
Net income from the income statement carries down to
the statement of retained earnings.
The ending balance in retained earnings carries down to
the balance sheet.
 Elimination entries are entered into the
“Elimination Entries” column (debit or credit)
to eliminate any amounts that would result in
“double counting.”
2-55
The Basic Elimination Entry: The Equity Method
 What needs to be eliminated?
◼
The parent’s investment account
⚫
It represents the initial investment adjusted
for the parent’s cumulative share of the
subsidiary’s income and dividends.
◼
The parent’s income from sub account
◼
The subsidiary’s equity accounts
2-56
Example: Equity Method
Pea Corporation created Soup Corporation with a transfer of $500 cash.
During Soup Corp.’s first year of operations, it generated a net loss of $100
and paid no dividends. During Soup Corp.’s second year of operations, it
generated net income of $200 and paid dividends of $50. What is the
balance in the Investment in Sub account on Parent’s books at the end of
year 2 using the equity method?

 What accounts need to be eliminated?
 How are they eliminated?
2-57
The Basic Elimination Entry: Equity Method
 The investment account represents the initial investment
adjusted for the parents cumulative share of the subsidiary’s
income and dividends.
 Therefore, the elimination entry eliminates:
◼
◼
◼
The subsidiary’s paid-in capital accounts (original investment)
Beginning retained earnings (past earnings / dividends)
The subsidiary’s current year earnings and dividends
 Generically, it looks like this:
