CHAPTER 5 CONSOLIDATION OF LESS-THAN-WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Q5-1 The noncontrolling interest is reported as a separate item in the stockholders’ equity
section of the balance sheet Past practice often presented the noncontrolling interestbetween long-term liabilities and stockholders’ equity
Q5-2 The consolidated balance sheet always includes 100 percent of the subsidiary’s
assets and liabilities When the parent holds less than 100 percent ownership of thesubsidiary, the noncontrolling interest’s claim on those net assets must be reported
Q5-3 The income statement portion of the consolidation workpaper is expanded to include a
line for income assigned to the noncontrolling interest This amount is deducted fromconsolidated net income in computing income to the controlling interest The balance sheetportion of the workpaper also is expanded to include the claim of the noncontrollingshareholders on the net assets of the subsidiary
Q5-4 The balance assigned to the noncontrolling interest is based on the fair value of the
noncontrolling interest at the date of acquisition
Q5-5 Consolidated retained earnings includes only amounts attributable to the shareholders
of the parent company Thus, none of the retained earnings is assigned to the noncontrollinginterest
Q5-6 One hundred percent of the fair value of the subsidiary’s assets is included.
Q5-7 The amount of goodwill at the date of acquisition is determined by deducting the fair
value of the net assets of the acquired company from the sum of the fair value of theconsideration given by the acquiring company and the fair value of the noncontrollinginterest The resulting goodwill must be apportioned between the controlling andnoncontrolling interest Under normal circumstances, goodwill apportioned to thenoncontrolling interest will equal the excess of the fair value of the noncontrolling interestover its proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets of the acquired company
Q5-8 Income assigned to the noncontrolling interest normally is a proportionate share of the
net income of the subsidiary
Q5-9 Income assigned to noncontrolling shareholders is reported as a deduction from
consolidated net income in arriving at income assigned to the parent company shareholders
Q5-10 Dividends paid to noncontrolling shareholders are eliminated in preparing the
consolidated statement of retained earnings Only dividends paid to the parent companyshareholders are reported as dividends distributed to shareholders
5-1
Trang 2Chapter 05 - Consolidation of Less-Than-Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
Q5-11 When the parent owns all the shares of a subsidiary (and the subsidiary has no other
publicly traded securities outstanding), it is free to decide whether it wishes to publishseparate statements for the subsidiary In some cases creditors, regulatory boards, or otherinterested parties may insist that such statements be produced If the parent does not ownall the shares of the subsidiary, the subsidiary normally would be expected to publishseparate financial statements for distribution to the noncontrolling shareholders In general,the consolidated statements are published for use by parent company shareholders and arelikely to be of little use to shareholders of the subsidiary
Q5-12 Other comprehensive income elements reported by the subsidiary must be included
in other comprehensive income in the consolidated financial statement If the subsidiary isnot wholly owned, income assigned to the noncontrolling interest will include a proportionateshare of the subsidiary’s other comprehensive income
Q5-13 The parent’s portion of the subsidiary’s other comprehensive income is included in
comprehensive income attributable to the controlling interest
Q5-14 Prior to FASB 141R, the differential was computed as the difference between the fair
value of the consideration given in acquiring ownership of the subsidiary and the parent’sportion of the book value of the subsidiary’s net assets
Q5-15 Prior to FASB 141R, goodwill was reported as the difference between the fair value
of the consideration given in acquiring ownership of the subsidiary and the parent’s portion ofthe fair value of the subsidiary’s net assets
Q5-16 Prior to FASB 141R, consolidated net income was computed by deducting income to
noncontrolling interest from consolidated revenues less expenses
Q5-17* The only effect of a negative balance in retained earnings is the need for a credit to
subsidiary retained earnings, rather than a debit to retained earnings, when the stockholders’equity accounts of the subsidiary and the investment account of the parent are eliminated
Q5-18* In the period in which the land is sold, the gain or loss recorded by the subsidiary
must be adjusted by the amount of the differential assigned to the land When the differential
is assigned in the workpaper eliminating entries at the end of the period, a debit will be made
to the gain or loss on sale of land that came to the workpaper from the subsidiary’s books
Q5-19A When the cost method is used, income reported by the parent and the resulting balance in the investment account do not reflect undistributed earnings of the subsidiary
following the date of acquisition Because these account balances are different under thecost and equity methods, a different set of eliminating entries must be used The majorchange in eliminating entries when the cost method is adopted is that a portion of thesubsidiary retained earnings is carried forward to the consolidated total The carryforward isneeded because the parent’s retained earnings does not include its portion of undistributedsubsidiary earnings following the acquisition, and therefore is less than consolidated retainedearnings

SOLUTIONS TO CASES
C5-1 Consolidation Workpaper Preparation
a If the parent company is using the equity method, the elimination of the incomerecognized by the parent from the subsidiary generally should not be equal to a proportionateshare of the subsidiary’s dividends If the parent has recognized only dividend income fromthe subsidiary, it is using the cost method
b It should be possible to tell if the preparer has included the parent's share of thesubsidiary's reported income in computing consolidated net income It is not possible to tellfrom looking at the workpaper alone whether or not all the adjustments that should havebeen made for amortization of the differential or to eliminate unrealized profits have beenproperly treated in computing the consolidated net income
c If the parent paid more than its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s netassets, the eliminating entries relating to that subsidiary should show amounts assigned toindividual asset accounts for fair value adjustments and to goodwill when the investmentaccount balance is eliminated and any noncontrolling interest is established in theworkpaper It should be relatively easy to determine if this has occurred by examining theconsolidation workpaper
d If the preparer has made a separate entry in the workpaper to eliminate the change in theparent’s investment account during the period, the easiest way to ascertain the parent’ssubsidiary ownership percentage is to determine the percentage share of the subsidiary’sdividends eliminated in that entry Another approach might be to divide the total amount ofthe parent’s subsidiary investment account eliminated in the workpaper by the sum of thetotal parent’s investment account eliminated and the total amount of the noncontrollinginterest established in the workpaper through eliminating entries However, this approachassumes that the fair value of the consideration given by the parent when acquiring itssubsidiary interest and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest on that date wereproportional, which is usually, by not always, the case

C5-2 Consolidated Income Presentation
MEMO
Standard Company
FROM: , Accounting Staff
RE: Allocation of Consolidated Income to Parent and Noncontrolling
Shareholders
FASB 160 specifies that consolidated net income reflects the income of the entire
consolidated entity and that consolidated net income must be allocated between thecontrolling and noncontrolling interests Earnings per share reported in the consolidatedincome statement is based on the income allocated to the controlling interest only
Consolidated net income increased by $34,000 from 20X4 to 20X5, an increase of 52percent However, consolidated net income allocated to the controlling interest increased by
$24,100 from 20X4 to 20X5, an increase of only 38 percent The increase in the controllinginterest’s share of consolidated net income did not keep pace with the increase in salesbecause nearly all of the sales increase was experienced by Jewel, which has a very lowprofit margin In addition the parent receives only 55 percent of the increased profits of thesubsidiary Consolidated net income for the two years is computed and allocated as follows:
20X4 20X5
Income to noncontrolling shareholders (2,700)(e) (12,600) (f)Income to controlling shareholders $ 63,300 $ 87,400

C5-3 Pro Rata Consolidation
MEMO
To: Financial Vice-President
Rose Corporation
From: , Senior Accountant
Re: Pro Rata Consolidation of Joint Venture
This memo is in response to your request for additional information on the desirability ofusing pro rata consolidation rather than equity method reporting for Rose Corporation’sinvestment in its joint venture with Krome Company The equity method is used by most
companies in reporting their investments in corporate joint ventures [APB Opinion, Par 16] While APB 18 provides guidance for joint ventures that have issued common stock, it does not provide guidance for ownership of noncorporate entities Interpretation No 2 to APB 18
suggests that the equity method would be appropriate for unincorporated entities as well
[APB 18, Int #2]
Assuming the joint venture with Krome Company is unincorporated, Rose owns an undividedinterest in each asset held by the joint venture and is liable for its share of each of itsliabilities and, under certain circumstances, the entire amount In this case, it can be arguedpro rata consolidation provides a more accurate picture of Rose’s assets and liabilities,although not all agree with this assertion Pro rata consolidation is generally considered notacceptable in this country, although it is a widely used industry practice in a few industriessuch as oil and gas exploration and production If the joint venture is incorporated, Rosedoes not have a direct claim on the assets of the joint venture and Rose’s liability is sheltered
by the joint venture’s corporate structure In this case, continued use of the equity methodappears to be appropriate

C5-4 Elimination Procedures
a The eliminating entries are recorded only in the consolidation workpaper and therefore donot change the balances recorded on the company's books Each time consolidatedstatements are prepared the balances reported on the company's books serve as the startingpoint Thus, all the necessary eliminating entries must be entered in the consolidationworkpaper each time consolidated statements are prepared
b For acquisitions prior to the application of FASB 141R, the balance assigned to the
noncontrolling shareholders at the beginning of the period is based on the book value of thenet assets of the subsidiary at that date and is recorded in the workpaper in the entry toeliminate the beginning stockholders' equity balances of the subsidiary and the beginning
investment account balance of the parent For acquisitions after the effective date of FASB 141R, the noncontrolling interest at a point in time is equal to its fair value on the date of
combination, adjusted to date for a proportionate share of the undistributed earnings of thesubsidiary and the noncontrolling interest’s share of any write-off of differential Anotherapproach to determining the noncontrolling interest at a point in time is to add the remainingdifferential at that time to the subsidiary’s common stockholders’ equity and multiply the result
by the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate ownership interest in the subsidiary
c In the consolidation workpaper the ending balance assigned to noncontrolling interest isderived by crediting noncontrolling interest for the starting balance, as indicated in thepreceding question, and then adding income assigned to the noncontrolling interest in theconsolidated income statement and deducting a pro rata portion of subsidiary dividendsdeclared during the period
d All the stockholders' equity account balances of the subsidiary must be eliminated eachtime consolidated financial statements are prepared Intercompany receivables andpayables, if any, must also be eliminated
e The "investment in subsidiary" and "income from subsidiary" accounts must be eliminatedeach time consolidated financial statements are prepared Intercompany receivables andpayables, if any, must also be eliminated

C5-5 Changing Accounting Standards: Monsanto Company
a Monsanto reported the income to noncontrolling (minority) shareholders of consolidated subsidiaries as an expense in the continuing operations portion of its 2007 income
statement
b Monsanto reported the noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries in other
liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet
c In 2007, Monsanto’s treatment of its noncontrolling interest in its consolidated financial statements, although theoretically objectionable, was considered acceptable The
noncontrolling (minority) interest did not fit the definition of a liability, and its share of income did not fit the definition of an expense Nevertheless, prior to 2008 no authoritative
pronouncement prohibited the treatment exhibited by Monsanto With the issuance of FASB
160, however, Monsanto’s 2007 treatment became unacceptable The noncontrolling
interest is now required to be treated as an equity item, with the income attributed to the noncontrolling interest treated as an allocation of consolidated net income
d Monsanto provided customer financing through a lender that was a special purpose entity.Monsanto had no ownership interest in the special purpose entity but did consolidate it because Monsanto effectively originated, guaranteed, and serviced the loans Monsanto had
a 9-percent ownership interest in one variable interest entity and a 49-percent ownership interest in another Neither entity was consolidated because Monsanto was not the primary beneficiary of either entity
