Consolidations—Subsequent to

the Date of acquisition

Answers to Questions

1. a. CCES Corp., for its own recordkeeping, may apply the equity method to the investment in Schmaling. Under this approach, the parent's records parallel the activities of the subsidiary. Income will be accrued by the parent as it is earned by the subsidiary. Dividends paid by Schmaling cause a reduction in book value; therefore, the investment account is reduced by CCES in a corresponding manner. In addition, any excess amortization expense associated with the allocation of CCES's purchase price is recognized through a periodic adjustment. By applying the equity method, both the income and investment balances maintained by the parent accurately reflect consolidated totals. The equity method is especially helpful in monitoring the income of the business combination. This method can be, however, rather difficult to apply and a time-consuming process.

b. The initial value method. The initial value method can also be utilized by CCES Corporation. Any dividends received will be accounted for as income but no other investment entries are recorded. Thus, the initial value method is quite easy to apply. However, the balances found within the parent's financial records may not provide a reasonable representation of the totals that will result from consolidating the two companies.

c. The partial equity method combines the advantages of the previous two techniques. Income is accrued as earned by the subsidiary in the same manner as the equity method. Similarly, dividends are reported as a reduction in the investment account. However, no other entries are recorded; more specifically, amortization is not recognized by the parent. The method is, therefore, easier to apply than the equity method but the subsidiary's individual totals will still frequently approximate consolidated balances.

2. a. The consolidated total for equipment is made up of the sum of Maguire’s book value, Williams’ book value, and any unamortized excess acquisition-date fair value over book value attributable to Williams’ equipment.

b. Although an Investment in Williams account is appropriately maintained by the parent, from a consolidation perspective the balance is intercompany in nature. Thus, the entire amount will be eliminated in arriving at consolidated financial statements.

c. Only dividends paid to outside parties are included in consolidated statements. Because Maguire owns 100 percent of Williams, all of the subsidiary's dividends are intercompany. Consequently, only the dividends paid by the parent company will be reported in the financial statements for this business combination.

d. Any goodwill recognized within Maguire's original acquisition price must still be reported for consolidation purposes. Reductions to the goodwill balance are made if goodwill is determined to be impaired.

e. Unless intercompany revenues have been recorded, consolidation is achieved in subsequent periods by adding the two book values together.

f. Consolidated expenses can be determined by adding the parent's book value to that of the subsidiary and then including any amortization expense associated with the purchase price. As will be discussed in detail in Chapter Five, intercompany expenses can also be present which require elimination in arriving at consolidated figures.

g. Only the common stock outstanding for the parent company is included in consolidated totals.

h. The net income for a business combination is calculated as the difference between consolidated revenues and consolidated expenses.

3. When using the equity method, subsidiary earnings are accrued and amortization expense (associated with the acquisition price in a purchase) is recognized in the same manner as in the consolidation process. The equity method parallels consolidation. Thus, the net income and retained earnings reported by the parent company each year will equal the consolidated totals.

4. In the consolidation process, excess amortizations must be recorded annually for any portion of the purchase price that is allocated to specific accounts (other than land or to goodwill). Although this expense can be simulated in total on the parent's books by an equity method entry, the actual amortization of each allocated fair value adjustment is appropriate for consolidation. Hence, the effect of the parent's equity method amortization entry is removed as part of Entry I so that the amortization of specific accounts (e.g., depreciation) can be recorded (in consolidation Entry E).

5. When the initial value method is applied by the parent company, no accrual is recorded to reflect the subsidiary's change in book value during the years following acquisition. Furthermore, recognition of excess amortizations relating to the acquisition price is also omitted by the parent. The partial equity method, in contrast, records the subsidiary’s book value increases and decreases but not amortizations. Consequently, for both of these methods, a technique must be established within the consolidation process to record the omitted figures. Entry *C simply brings the parent's records (more specifically, the beginning retained earnings balance and the investment account) up-to-date as of the first day of the current year. If the initial value method has been applied by the acquiring company, any changes in the subsidiary's book value in previous years must be recorded on the worksheet along with the appropriate amount of amortization expense. For the partial equity method, only the amortization relating to these prior years needs to be recognized.

No similar entry is needed if the equity method has been applied; changes in the subsidiary's book value as well as excess amortization expense will be recorded each year by the parent. Thus, under the equity method, the parent's investment and beginning retained earnings balances are both correctly established without further adjustment.

6. Lambert's loan payable and the receivable held by Jenkins are intercompany accounts. As such, the reciprocal balances should be offset in the consolidation process. The $100,000 is not a debt to or a receivable from an unrelated (or outside) party and should, therefore, not be reported in consolidated financial statements. Additionally any interest income/expense recognized on this loan is also intercompany in nature and must likewise be eliminated.

7. Since the equity method has been applied by Benns, the $920,000 is composed of four balances:

a. The original consideration transferred by the parent;

b. The annual accruals made by Benns to recognize income as it is earned by the subsidiary;

c. The reductions that are created by the subsidiary's payment of dividends;

d. The periodic amortization recognized by Benns in connection with the allocations identified with its purchase price.

8. The $100,000 attributed to goodwill is reported at its original amount unless a portion of goodwill is impaired or a unit of the business where goodwill resides is sold.

9. A parent should consider recognizing an impairment loss for goodwill associated with a purchased subsidiary when, at the reporting unit level, the fair value is less than its carrying amount. Goodwill is reduced when its carrying value is less than its fair value. To compute fair value for goodwill, its implied value is calculated by subtracting the fair values of the reporting unit’s identifiable net assets from its total fair value. The impairment is recognized as a loss from continuing operations.

10. The additional consideration is merely an extra component of the price paid by Remo to purchase Albane. Thus, any goodwill recognized at the original date of acquisition will be increased in 2009 by $100,000. However, if a bargain purchase occurred on January 1, 2009, this new payment reduces the allocations to noncurrent assets previously recognized for consolidation purposes.

11. At present, the Securities and Exchange Commission requires the use of push-down accounting for the separate financial statements of a subsidiary where no substantial outside ownership exists. Thus, if Company A owns all of Company B, the push-down method of accounting would be appropriate for the separately issued statements of Company B. The SEC normally requires push-down accounting where 95 percent of a subsidiary is acquired and the company has no outstanding public debt or preferred stock.

Push-down accounting may be required if 80-95 percent of the outstanding voting stock is purchased. Push-down accounting is justified in that the consideration transferred by the present owners is reported. For example, if a piece of land costs Company B $10,000 but Company A pays $13,000 for the land when acquiring Company B, the land has a basis to the current owners of B of $13,000. If B's financial records had been united with A at the time of the acquisition, the land would have been reported at $13,000. Thus, leaving the $10,000 figure simply because separate incorporation is maintained is viewed, by proponents of push-down accounting, as unjustified.

12. When push-down accounting is applied, the subsidiary adjusts the book value of its assets and liabilities based on the allocations made at the date of the acquisition. Periodic amortization expense is recognized subsequently by the subsidiary on each of these allocations (except for land). Therefore, the income recorded by the subsidiary is a fair representation of that company's impact on consolidated earnings.

The parent uses no special procedures when push-down accounting is being applied. However, if the equity method is in use, amortization need not be recognized by the parent since that expense is included in the figure reported by the subsidiary.

13. Push-down accounting has become popular for the parent's internal reporting purposes for two reasons. First, this method simplifies the consolidation process each year. If purchase price allocations and subsequent amortization are recorded by the subsidiary, they do not need to be repeated each year on a consolidation worksheet. Second, recording of amortization by the subsidiary enables that company's information to provide a good representation of the impact that the acquisition has on the earnings of the business combination. For example, if the subsidiary earns $100,000 each year but annual amortization is $80,000, the acquisition is only adding $20,000 to the income of the combination each year rather than the $100,000 that is reported by the subsidiary unless push-down accounting is used.

12. (35 Minutes) (Determine consolidated retained earnings when parent uses various accounting methods. Determine Entry *C for each of these methods)

a. CONSOLIDATED RETAINED EARNINGS

▪ EQUITY METHOD

Herbert (parent) balance—1/1/09 $400,000

Herbert income—2009 40,000

Herbert dividends—2009 (subsidiary dividends are

intercompany and, thus, eliminated) (10,000)

Rambis income—2009 (not included in parent's income) 20,000

Amortization—2009 (12,000)

Herbert income—2010 50,000

Herbert dividends—2010 (10,000)

Rambis income—2010 30,000

Amortization—2010 (12,000)

Consolidated Retained Earnings, 12/31/10 $496,000

▪ PARTIAL EQUITY METHOD AND INITIAL VALUE METHOD

Consolidated retained earnings are the same regardless of the method in use: the beginning balance plus the income of the parent less the dividends of the parent plus the income of the subsidiary less amortization expense. Thus, consolidated retained earnings on December 31, 2010 are $496,000 as computed above.

c. ENTRY *C

▪ EQUITY METHOD

No entry is needed to convert the past figures to the equity method since that method has already been applied.

▪ PARTIAL EQUITY METHOD

Amortization for the prior years (only 2009 in this case) has not been recorded and must be brought into the consolidation through worksheet entry *C:

ENTRY *C

Retained Earnings, 1/1/10 (Parent) 12,000

Investment in Rambis 12,000

(To record 2009 amortization in consolidated figures. Expense was

omitted because of application of partial equity method.)

▪ INITIAL VALUE METHOD

Amortization for the prior years (only 2009 in this case) has not been recorded and must be brought into the consolidation through worksheet entry *C. In addition, only dividend income has been recorded by the parent ($5,000 in 2009). In this prior year, Rambis reported net income of $20,000. Thus, the parent has not recorded the $15,000 income in excess of dividends. That amount must also be included in the consolidation through entry *C:

ENTRY *C

Investment in Rambis 3,000

Retained Earnings, 1/1/10 (Parent) 3,000

(To record 2009 unrecognized subsidiary earnings as part of the parent’s retained earnings. $15,000 income of subsidiary was not recorded by parent (income in excess of dividends). Amortization expense of $12,000 was not recorded under the initial value method.

Note that *C adjustments bring the parent’s January 1, 2010 Retained Earnings balance equal to that of the equity method.

Consolidated equipment—December 31, 2010 $803,000

Parent's choice of an investment method has no impact on consolidated totals.

13. (continued)

d. If the initial value method was applied during 2009, the parent would have recorded dividend income of $50,000 rather than $110,000 (as equity income). Income is, therefore, understated by $60,000. In addition, amortization expense of $4,000 was not recorded. Thus, the January 1, 2010, retained earnings is understated by $56,000 ($60,000 – $4,000). An Entry *C is necessary on the worksheet to correct this equity figure:

Investment in Turner 56,000

Retained Earnings, 1/1/10 (Haynes) 56,000

If the partial equity method was applied during 2009, the parent would have failed to record amortization expense of $4,000. Retained earnings are overstated by $4,000 and are corrected through Entry *C:

Retained Earnings, 1/1/10 (Haynes) 4,000

Investment in Turner 4,000

If the equity method was applied during 2009, the parent's retained earnings are the same as the consolidated figure so that no adjustment is necessary.

b. Step one in goodwill impairment test:

Fair value of reporting unit as a whole 1,425,000

Book value of reporting unit's net assets 1,585,000

Because the total fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a potential goodwill impairment loss exists, step two is performed:

Fair value of reporting unit as a whole $1,425,000

Fair values of reporting unit's net assets (excluding goodwill) 1,325,000

Implied fair value of goodwill 100,000

No changes in tangible assets or identifiable intangibles are reported based on goodwill impairment testing. The sole purpose of the valuation exercise is to estimate an implied value for goodwill. Destin will report a goodwill impairment loss of $20,000, which will reduce the amount of goodwill allocated to Sand Dollar. However, because the fair value of Sand Dollar’s trademarks is less than its carrying amount, the account should be subjected to a separate impairment testing procedure to see if the carrying value is “recoverable” in future estimated cash flows.

b. The consolidated account balances are not affected by the method of recording used by the parent. Thus, consolidated Expenses ($480,000 or $290,000 + $180,000 + amortizations of $10,000) are the same regardless of whether the equity method, the partial equity method, or the initial value method is applied by Jefferson.

20. (continued)

c. The consolidated account balances are not affected by the method of recording used by the parent. Thus, consolidated Equipment ($970,000 or $520,000 + $420,000 + allocation of $50,000 – two years of excess depreciation of $20,000) is the same regardless of whether the equity method, the partial equity method, or the initial value method is applied by Jefferson.

d. Correction note: To solve part d. of this problem, it must be assumed that Jefferson had identical income in 2009 and 2010.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCES

▪ Depreciation expense = $659,000 (book values plus $9,000 excess depreciation)

▪ Dividends Paid = $120,000 (parent balance only. Subsidiary's dividends are eliminated as intercompany transfer)

▪ Revenues = $1,400,000 (add book values)

▪ Equipment = $1,563,000 (add book values plus $90,000 allocation less three years of excess depreciation [$27,000])

22. (continued)

▪ Buildings = $1,200,000 (add book values)

▪ Goodwill = $40,000 (original residual allocation)

▪ Common Stock = $900,000 (parent balance only)

b. The parent's choice of an investment method has no impact on the consolidated totals. The choice of an investment method only affects the internal reporting of the parent.

c. The initial value method is used. The parent's Investment in Subsidiary account still retains the original consideration transferred of $600,000. In addition, the Investment Income account equals the amount of dividends paid by the subsidiary.

d. If the partial equity method had been utilized, the investment income account would have shown an equity accrual of $100,000. If the equity method had been applied, the Investment Income account would have included both the equity accrual of $100,000 and excess amortizations of $9,000 for a balance of $91,000.

If the partial equity method were in use, the Income of O’Brien account would have had a balance of $222,000 (100% of O’Brien's reported income for the period). If the initial value method were in use, the Income of O’Brien account would have had a balance of $80,000 (100% of the dividends paid by O’Brien). Thus, the equity method must be in use. The Income of O’Brien balance is an equity accrual of $222,000 (100% of O’Brien’s reported income) less excess amortizations of $12,000 (as computed above).

b. Students can develop consolidated figures conceptually, without relying on a worksheet or consolidation entries. Thus, part b. asks students to determine independently each balance to be reported by the business combination.

▪ Revenues = $1,645,000 (the accounts of both companies combined)

▪ Cost of Goods Sold = 528,000 (the accounts of both companies combined)

▪ Amortization Expense = $40,000 (the accounts of both companies and the acquisition-related adjustment of $15,000)

▪ Depreciation Expense = $142,000 (the accounts for both companies and the acquisition-related depreciation adjustment of $3,000)

▪ Income of O’Brien = $0 (the balance reported by the parent is removed and replaced with the subsidiary’s individual revenue and expense accounts)

▪ Net Income = 935,000 (consolidated revenues less expenses)

▪ Retained Earnings, 1/1 = $700,000 (only the parent's retained earnings figure is included)

▪ Dividends Paid = $142,000 (the subsidiary's dividends were paid to the parent and, thus, as an intercompany transfer are eliminated)

▪ Retained Earnings, 12/31 = $1,493,000 (the beginning balance for the parent plus consolidated net income less consolidated [parent] dividends)

▪ Cash = $290,000 (the accounts of both companies are added together)

▪ Receivables = $281,000 (the accounts of both companies are combined)

▪ Inventory = $310,000 (the accounts of both companies are combined)

23. (continued)

▪ Investment in O’Brien = $0 (the parent’s balance is removed and replaced with the subsidiary’s individual asset and liability accounts)

▪ Trademarks = $634,000 (the accounts of both companies are added together plus the 100,000 fair value adjustment)

▪ Customer relationships = $60,000 (the initial $75,000 fair value adjustment less $15,000 amortization expense)

▪ Equipment = $1,170,000 (both company’s balances less the $30,000 fair value adjustment net of $3,000 in depreciation expense reduction)

▪ Goodwill = $55,000 (the original allocation)

▪ Total Assets = $2,800,000 (summation of consolidated balances)

▪ Liabilities = $907,000 (the accounts of both companies are combined)

▪ Common Stock = $400,000 (parent balance only)

▪ Retained Earnings, 12/31 = $1,493,000 (computed above)

The parent company is apparently applying the initial value method: only dividend income is recognized during the current year and the investment account retains its original $470,000 balance. Therefore, both the subsidiary's change in retained earnings during 2009–2012 as well as the amortization for that period must be brought into the consolidation.

Aaron' retained earnings January 1, 2013 $490,000

b. If the equity method had been applied by Michael, three figures on that company's financial records would be different: Equity in Earnings of Aaron, Retained Earnings—1/1/13, and Investment in Aaron Co.

Equity in Earnings of Aaron: $135,000 (the parent would accrue 100% of Aaron's $150,000 income but must also recognize $15,000 in amortization expense.)

Retained Earnings, 1/1/13: $1,080,000 (increases by $200,000—the parent would have recognized the $260,000 increment in the subsidiary's book value during previous years as well as $60,000 in excess amortization expenses for these same four years [see Part a.])

Investment in Aaron: $800,000 (increases by $330,000—the parent would have recognized the $260,000 increment in the subsidiary's book value during previous years as well as $60,000 in excess amortization expenses for these same four years [see Part a.]. In the current year, income of $135,000 would have been recognized [see above] along with a reduction of $5,000 for dividends received).

c. No Entry *C is needed on the worksheet if the equity method is applied. Both the investment account as well as beginning retained earnings would be stated appropriately.

Entry I would have been used to eliminate the $135,000 Equity in Earnings of Aaron from the parent's income statement and from the Investment in Aaron Co. account.

Entry D would eliminate the $5,000 current year dividend from Dividends Paid and the Investment in Aaron account balances.

d. Consolidated figures are not affected by the investment method used by the parent. The parent company balances would differ and changes would be required in the worksheet entries. However, the figures to be reported do not depend on the parent's selection of a method.

25. (65 Minutes) (Consolidated totals and worksheet five years after acquisition. Parent uses equity method. Includes goodwill impairment.)

a. Acquisition-date fair value allocations (given) Life Excess Amortizations

Land $90,000 -- --

Equipment 50,000 10 yrs. $5,000

Goodwill 60,000 indefinite 0

Total $200,000 $5,000

The problem states that the equity method is in use. Thus, the $135,000 "Equity in Income of Small" would be comprised of a $140,000 equity accrual (100% of the subsidiary's reported earnings) less $5,000 in amortization expense computed above.

b.

▪ Revenues = $1,535,000 (both balances are added together)

▪ Cost of Goods Sold = $640,000 (both balances are added)

▪ Depreciation Expense = $307,000 (both balances are added along with excess equipment depreciation)

▪ Equity in Income of Small = $0 (the parent's income balance is removed and replaced with Small's individual revenue and expense accounts)

▪ Net Income = $588,000 (consolidated expenses are subtracted from consolidated revenues)

▪ Retained Earnings, 1/1/13 = $1,417,000 (the parent’s balance)

▪ Dividends Paid = $310,000 (the parent number alone because the subsidiary's dividends are intercompany, paid to Giant)

▪ Retained Earnings, 12/31/13 = $1,695,000 (the parent’s balance at beginning of the year plus consolidated net income less consolidated dividends paid)

▪ Current Assets = $706,000 (both book balances are added together while the $10,000 intercompany receivable is eliminated)

▪ Investment in Small = $0 (the parent's asset is removed so that Small's individual asset and liability accounts can be brought into the consolidation)

▪ Land = $695,000 (both book balances are added together along with the purchase price allocation of $90,000)

▪ Buildings = $723,000 (both book balances are added together)

▪ Equipment = $959,000 (both book balances are added plus the unamortized portion of the purchase price allocation [$50,000 less $25,000 after 5 years of excess depreciation])

25. b. (continued)

▪ Goodwill = $60,000 (represents the original price allocation)

▪ Total Assets = $3,143,000 (summation of all consolidated assets)

▪ Liabilities = $1,198,000 (both balances are added together while the $10,000 intercompany payable is eliminated)

▪ Common Stock = $250,000 (parent balance only)

▪ Retained Earnings, 12/31/13 = $1,695,000 (see above)

▪ Total Liabilities and Equity = $3,143,000 (summation of all consolidated liabilities and equity)

a. Worksheet is presented on following page.

b. If all goodwill from the Small investment was determined to be impaired, Giant would make the following journal entry on its books:

Goodwill impairment loss 60,000

Investment in Small 60,000

After this entry, the worksheet process would no longer require an adjustment in Entry (A) to recognize goodwill. The impairment loss would simply carry over to the consolidated income column. The impairment loss would be reported as a separate line item in the operating section of the consolidated income statement.

29. (45 Minutes) (Prepare consolidation worksheet five years after purchase. Parent applies equity method. Includes question on push-down accounting.)

a. Allocation of Acquisition-Date Fair Value and Determination of Amortization:

Storm’s acquisition-date fair value $140,000

Book value of Storm (acquisition date) (105,000)

Fair value in excess of book value $35,000

Excess assigned to specific accounts: Annual Excess

Life Amortizations

Land $10,000 – –

Equipment 5,000 5 yrs. $1,000

Formula 20,000 20 yrs. 1,000

Total $35,000 $2,000

The equity in subsidiary earnings account reflects the equity method. The initial value method would have recorded $40,000 (100% of dividend payments) as income while the partial equity method would have shown $68,000 (100% of the subsidiary's income). Under the equity method, an income accrual of $66,000 is recognized (100% of reported income less the $2,000 in excess amortization expenses computed above).

b. Explanation of Consolidation Entries Found on Worksheet

Entry S—Eliminates stockholders' equity accounts of the subsidiary as of the beginning of the current year.

Entry A—Records remaining unamortized allocation from acquisition-date fair value adjustments. As of the beginning of the current year, equipment and formula have undergone four years of amortization.

Entry I—Eliminates intercompany income accrual for the current year.

Entry D—Eliminates intercompany dividend transfers.

Entry E—Recognizes excess amortization expenses for current year.

c. If push-down accounting had been applied, the purchase price allocations to land ($10,000), equipment ($5,000), and formula ($20,000) would have been entered into the subsidiary's balances with an offsetting $35,000 increase in additional paid-in capital. The equipment and the formula would then have been amortized by the subsidiary as annual expenses of $1,000 each. For 2013, the subsidiary's expenses would have been $2,000 higher leaving reported net income at $66,000. At the end of 2013, land would still have been $10,000 higher because no amortization is recorded on that asset. Equipment would be no higher at this time since the $5,000 allocation is fully depreciated at the end of this fifth year. However, the secret formula would be recorded by the subsidiary as $15,000, the $20,000 allocation less five years of amortization at $1,000 per year.

12/31 Fair value 110,000,000

Excess carrying value over fair value $10,070,000

Because fair value is less than carrying value, Prine is required to further test whether goodwill is impaired.

Net loss $(25,306,000)

d. Consolidated goodwill = $50,000,000 – $33,106,000 = $16,894,000

32. (continued)

e. Consolidated broadcast licenses = $350,000 + $14,014,000 = $14,364,000

The consolidated balance equals the sum of parent’s book value plus the fair value of the subsidiary broadcast licenses at acquisition date adjusted for any changes since acquisition. Because the subsidiary’s book value equaled fair value at acquisition date, no worksheet adjustment is needed. Because the broadcast licenses are considered to have indefinite lives, they are not amortized. Note that the 12/31 fair value, assessed for purposes of computing implied value for goodwill, is not used for financial reporting purposes.
