CHAPTER 5

CONSOLIDATION OF LESS-THAN-WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARIES


ACQUIRED AT MORE THAN BOOK VALUE

IMPORTANT NOTE TO INSTRUCTORS

The 12th edition uses a building block approach to our coverage of consolidation in
chapters 2 through 5. Chapter 2 introduces our coverage of consolidation in the most basic
setting when the subsidiary is either created or purchased at an amount equal to the book value of
the subsidiary’s underlying net assets.

 Chapter 3 explains how the basic consolidation process changes when the parent
company owns less than 100 percent of the subsidiary.
 Chapter 4 shows how the consolidation process differs when the parent company
acquires the subsidiary for an amount greater (or less) than the book value of the
subsidiary’s net assets.
 Finally, Chapter 5 presents the most complex consolidation scenario (where the
parent owns less than 100 percent of the subsidiary’s outstanding voting stock and
the acquisition price is not equal to the book value of the subsidiary’s net assets).
In order to facilitate this new approach, we emphasize that this edition includes
consolidation entries used to facilitate the elimination of the investment in a
subsidiary in two steps: (1) first the book value portion of the investment and
income from the subsidiary are eliminated and (2) then the differential portion of

the investment and income from the subsidiary are eliminated with separate
entries. We believe this approach is more intuitive for students.

OVERVIEW OF CHAPTER 5

Chapter 5 presents the preparation of consolidated financial statements for less-than-


wholly-owned subsidiaries. When a subsidiary is less than wholly owned, the general approach
to consolidation is the same as discussed in Chapter 4 for wholly owned subsidiaries, but the
consolidation procedures must be modified slightly to recognize the noncontrolling interest.
Also, the computation of consolidated net income and retained earnings must allow for the claim
of the noncontrolling interest.
The noncontrolling shareholders of a subsidiary have a claim on the income and assets of
that subsidiary. In simple cases, the income that accrues to the noncontrolling interest is the
noncontrolling stockholders’ proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income, and their claim
on assets is equal to their proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net assets.
The chapter also illustrates the consolidation process and resulting financial statements
when other comprehensive income is reported by the subsidiary. It also presents journal entries
recorded by the parent and subsidiary. The subsidiary’s other comprehensive income items
should also be allocated between the controlling and noncontrolling interests.
When the subsidiary reports other comprehensive income, the worksheet can be prepared
in the standard manner, with one modification. The standard three-part consolidation worksheet
can be modified to provide an additional section that includes the other comprehensive income of
the subsidiary and the parent’s share of the subsidiary’s other comprehensive income.
The parent company includes income from the subsidiary in its income statement and
adjusts the balance in the investment account for the investment income recorded and dividends
received when it uses the equity method in accounting for its investment. If the cost method is
used, the parent records dividend income for its portion of dividends received from the
subsidiary and different consolidation entries are needed in preparing the consolidated financial
statements.
Appendix 5A discusses additional considerations including negative retained earnings of
subsidiary at acquisition; other stockholders’ equity accounts; and the subsidiary’s disposal of
differential-related assets.

NOTES ON POWERPOINT SLIDES

We have attempted to provide PowerPoint slides that will be useful to a broad set of users. Since
instructors often have different styles and preferences, we have attempted to include slides that
will accommodate different approaches and that can be adapted to classes with different levels of
preparation. For example, some instructors prefer to introduce the material before students have
read the chapter. We have tried to facilitate these types of introductory discussions by including
slides that replicate key points from the chapter. Other instructors expect students to have read
the chapter and attempted homework problems before coming to class. As a result, they may not
find it useful to review all of the topics in the chapter or to include slides that simply review
many of the details they expect students to study before class. However, instructors following
this approach often like to use sample exercises and problems built into the slides that allow
them to have extended discussions or to facilitate group interaction in class.

If instructors elect to spend two class periods on the same subject, they might find a combination
of both styles to be useful by first introducing foundational material before students have read
the chapter and studied the topic, followed by an extended discussion the next class period after
students have read the chapter and attempted homework problems.
 
We have tried to develop slides that can facilitate a flexible approach to allow instructors to
select the slides that best match their objectives and style for class discussions. This is the reason
we are including over 100 slides for some chapters in the text. We do not expect all instructors to
use all slides, but the slide files should help support different teaching approaches and allow
instructors to select the subset of slides that best matches their specific discussion objectives. 

The slides are organized by learning objective. We have included a slide at the beginning of each
learning objective to show where the new material begins. Instructors may or may not want to
use these learning objective slides in class. We provide them primarily as a way of organizing
the material. We also include short multiple choice questions at the end of most learning
objectives. Some instructors find it useful to pause periodically during class to assess students’
level of understanding. For this reason, we include several “practice quiz questions” that can be
used throughout class discussions to engage students, help them focus on key points, or to
facilitate group interaction. Finally, we provide longer exercises and problems that many
instructors find useful in assessing understanding and encouraging group learning.

LO 5-1 Understand and explain how the consolidation process differs when the subsidiary is
less-than-wholly owned and there is a differential.
 Slides 3-4 briefly summarize how consolidation procedures differ when the
subsidiary is less-than-wholly owned.
 Slides 5-12 illustrate an example of the consolidation procedure for a less-than-
wholly-owned subsidiary. Since the investment in the subsidiary is acquired on
the balance sheet date, no income has been earned. Thus, there is no need for a
consolidated income statement or statement of retained earnings. We find that the
preparation of a consolidated balance sheet allows students to understand one
aspect of the differential (the balance sheet side) before getting too deep in the

income statement effects. We find it useful to provide full-page handouts (or an


Excel Template) for slides 5, 7, and 8 so that students can walk through the
analyses in small groups. We often go through slides 5-11 slowly, pausing to
allow students to work one step at a time before showing them correct answers.
We then have them complete the worksheet (slide 12) while working in a small
group. If we are short on time, we opt to quickly go through this worksheet with
the entire class and save “group time” for the “full-blown” worksheet later in this
set of slides.
 Slides 13-16 include a second illustration of the basic calculations for a less-than-
wholly-owned subsidiary.

LO 5-2 Make calculations and prepare consolidation entries for the consolidation of a
partially owned subsidiary when there is a complex positive differential.
 Slides 20-31 walk students through the consolidation process during the first year
following acquisition.
 Slides 32-43 walk students through the consolidation process during the second year
following acquisition.
 Slides 44-56 are a group exercise which allows students to practice the consolidation
process for a less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary at the date of acquisition.
 Slides 57-58 summarize the differences in the consolidation entries that are unique to
the less-than-wholly-owned subsidiary consolidation as a quick reminder for students
and preparation for Group Exercise 2.
 Slides 59-76 return to the previous example to slowly walk students through the
consolidation during the first year of acquisition. This is a critical example for helping
students to understand all of the detail for a positive differential and partial
ownership. We tend to have students work one step ahead of the slides and reveal one
portion of the solution at a time to make sure they stay on track. After working
through all of the foundational steps, we have students complete the consolidation
worksheet in their groups (and sometimes have them turn in their solution as a “group
quiz”). Note that the book value calculations on slide 63 lead directly to the basic
consolidation entry. The bottom row of the excess value calculations on slide 65 leads
to the excess value reclassification entry and the middle row of the excess value
calculations leads to the amortized excess value reclassification entry.

LO 5-3 Understand and explain what happens when a parent company ceases to consolidate
a subsidiary.
 Slides 78-84 explain and illustrate the accounting for situations in which the parent
ceases to consolidate a subsidiary.

LO 5-4 Make calculations and prepare consolidation entries for the consolidation of a
partially owned subsidiary when there is a complex positive differential and other
comprehensive income.
 Slides 93-97 explain and briefly illustrate how the consolidation differs when the
subsidiary has other comprehensive income.

 Slides 99-103 briefly cover the additional considerations: subsidiary valuation,
negative retained earnings, other stockholders’ equity accounts, and the disposal of
differential-related assets.

TEACHING IDEAS

1. Students could be asked to "prove" the amounts provided in their Fortune 100 company's
annual report for noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet and on the
consolidated income statement. Reconciliation of these amounts is usually possible by
reading the information available in the footnotes. Some students may find that these
amounts cannot be reconciled from the information presented. If that is the case, students
should suggest additional disclosures that would make the calculation of the
noncontrolling interest amounts possible.

2. Each student could be asked to determine the percentage of ownership of the subsidiaries
for a Fortune 100 company. This can be determined by access to Moody's and is
sometimes disclosed in the company's annual report. An indirect method to determine the
extent of the parent company's ownership percentage of the subsidiaries could be used to
determine the magnitude of the noncontrolling interest on the consolidated balance sheet.
Students could be asked the question: Why do most parent companies acquire 100
percent ownership of the subsidiary when 51 percent would grant them economic
control? What are the economic reasons supporting more than a 51 percent ownership
level?

Exercises No. 1 And 2 Basics Of Consolidation

1. On January 1, 20X9, Parent Corporation acquired 90 percent of Small Corporation’s stock for
$324,000 cash. At that date, the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $36,000. At that date
Small had $150,000 of stock outstanding and reported retained earnings of $140,000. The fair
values of all of Small's assets approximated their fair values except one of its buildings whose
fair value exceeded its book value by $50,000. The remaining economic life for all Small’s
depreciable assets was ten years on the date of combination. The amount of the differential
assigned to goodwill is not impaired. Small reported net income of $56,000 in 20X9 and
declared no dividends.
