CHAPTER 3
1 A corporation becomes a subsidiary when another corporation either directly or indirectly acquires a
controlling financial interest (generally over 50 percent) of its outstanding voting stock.
2 Amounts assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities in excess of recorded amounts on the books of the
subsidiary are not recorded separately by the parent. Instead, the parent records the fair value/purchase
price of the interest acquired in an investment account. The assignment to identifiable asset and liability
accounts is made through working paper entries when the parent and subsidiary financial statements are
consolidated.
3 The land would be shown in the consolidated balance sheet at $100,000, its fair value, assuming that the
purchase price of the subsidiary is greater than the book value of the subsidiary’s net assets. If the parent
had acquired an 80 percent interest and the implied fair value of the subsidiary was greater than the book
value of the subsidiary’s net assets, the land would still appear in the consolidated balance sheet at
$100,000. Under GAAP, the noncontrolling interest is also reported based on fair values at the acquisition
date.
4 Parent company—a corporation that owns a controlling interest in the outstanding voting stock of another
corporation (its subsidiary).
Subsidiary company—a corporation that is controlled by a parent that owns a controlling interest in its
outstanding voting stock, either directly or indirectly.
Affiliates—companies that are controlled by a single management team through parent-subsidiary
relationships. (Although the term affiliate is a synonym for subsidiary, the parent is included in the total
affiliation structure.) In many annual reports, the term includes all investments accounted for by the equity
method.
Associates—companies that are controlled through parent-subsidiary relationships or whose operations can
be significantly influenced through equity investments of 20 percent to 50 percent.
5 A noncontrolling interest is the equity interest in a subsidiary that is owned by stockholders outside of the
affiliation structure. In other words, it is the equity interest in a subsidiary (recorded at fair value) that is
not held by the parent or subsidiaries of the parent.
6 Under GAAP, a subsidiary will not be consolidated if control does not rest with the majority owner, such
as in the case of a subsidiary in reorganization or bankruptcy, or when the subsidiary operates under severe
foreign exchange restrictions or other governmentally imposed uncertainties.
7 Consolidated financial statements are intended primarily for the stockholders and creditors of the parent,
according to GAAP.
8 The amount of capital stock that appears in a consolidated balance sheet is the total par or stated value of
the outstanding capital stock of the parent.
9 Goodwill from consolidation may appear in the general ledger of the surviving entity in a merger or
consolidation accounted for as an acquisition. But goodwill from consolidation would not appear in the
general ledger of a parent or its subsidiary. Goodwill is entered in consolidation working papers when the
reciprocal investment and equity amounts are eliminated. Working paper entries affect consolidated
financial statements, but they are not entered in any general ledger.
10 The parent’s investment in subsidiary does not appear in a consolidated balance sheet if the subsidiary is
consolidated. It would appear in the parent’s separate balance sheet under the heading “investments” or
“other assets.” Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries are shown in consolidated balance sheets as
investments or other assets. They are accounted for under the equity method if the parent can exercise
significant influence over the subsidiary; otherwise, they are accounted for by the fair value / cost method.
12 Reciprocal accounts are eliminated in the process of preparing consolidated financial statements in order to
show the financial position and results of operations of the total economic entity that is under the control of
a single management team. Sales by a parent to a subsidiary are internal transactions from the viewpoint of
the economic entity and the same is true of interest income and interest expense and rent income and rent
expense arising from intercompany transactions. Similarly, receivables from and payables to affiliates do
not represent assets and liabilities of the economic entity for which consolidated financial statements are
prepared.
13 The stockholders’ equity of a parent under the equity method is the same as the consolidated stockholders’
equity of a parent and its subsidiaries provided that the noncontrolling interest, if any, is reported outside of
the consolidated stockholders’ equity. If noncontrolling interest is included in consolidated stockholders’
equity, it represents the sole difference between the parent’s stockholders’ equity under the equity method
and consolidated stockholders’ equity.
14 No. The amounts that appear in the parent’s statement of retained earnings under the equity method and the
amounts that appear in the consolidated statement of retained earnings are identical, assuming that the
noncontrolling interest is included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
15 Income attributable to noncontrolling interest is not an expense, but rather it is an allocation of the total
income to the consolidated entity between controlling and noncontrolling stockholders. From the viewpoint
of the controlling interest (the stockholders of the parent), income attributable to noncontrolling interest
has the same effect on consolidated net income as an expense. This is because consolidated net income is
income to all stockholders. Alternatively, you can view total consolidated net income as being allocated to
the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
17 It is acceptable to consolidate the annual financial statements of a parent and a subsidiary with different
fiscal periods, provided that the dates of closing are not more than three months apart. Any significant
developments that occur in the intervening three-month period should be disclosed in notes to the financial
Chapter 3 3-3
statements. In the situation described, it is acceptable to consolidate the financial statements of the
subsidiary with an October 31 closing date with the financial statements of the parent with a December 31
closing date.
18 The acquisition of shares from noncontrolling stockholders is not a business combination. It must be
accounted for as a treasury stock transaction if the acquirer is the controlling interest. It is not possible, by
definition, to acquire a controlling interest from noncontrolling stockholders.
