Sophisticated Equity Method
Parent records controlling interest in the subsidiary’s income
Parent also records the amortization adjustment for the
excess

Elimination Procedures
Consolidation process is performed independently
each year
All elimination entries are Workpaper Only --- not
posted to the general ledger of parent or subsidiary
Steps for dates subsequent to acquisition:
Date Alignment (varies by method)
Eliminate parent’s share of sub equity
Distribute excess purchase price
Amortize/Depreciate the excess

Date Alignment for Simple Equity Method
Investment in Sub carries information through the end of
the fiscal year
Subsidiary’s Retained Earnings is at its beginning-of-year
balance
Must align the content of the two accounts before
eliminating sub equity against the investment account
– Eliminate the effects of the current year’s recognition of income
and dividends

Income Distribution Schedules
Subsidiary
Internally generated net income
- Full amortization of excess + Other adjustments, if any
= Adjusted income
× NIC interest
= Distribute to NCI
Parent
Internally generated net income
+ Parent share Sub adj income
= Controlling interest

Date Alignment for Cost Method
Investment account carries information as of the
date of acquisition
Subsidiary’s Retained Earnings is at its beginningof-year balance
Must align the content of the two accounts before
eliminating sub equity against the investment
account
– Convert the Investment account to its simple equity
balance as of the beginning of the period
– Required at end of second and subsequent years

Further Consolidation Procedures
After date alignment is completed
– The cost method investment is converted to its simple
equity balance at the beginning of the year
– Same procedure regardless of method (simple equity
or cost) to account for investment in subsidiary
Next steps
Eliminate P% of Sub’s beginning of year equity
Distribute excess to controlling interest and NCI
Amortize/Depreciate the excess

Effect of the Sophisticated Equity Method
• Ramifications:
– Current year’s equity adjustment is net of excess amortizations
– The investment account contains only the remaining
unamortized excess applicable to the investment
• Distribution and amortization of excess procedures are
altered:
– Distribute the remaining unamortized excess applicable to the
controlling interest to the balance sheet account; adjust the NCI
for the remaining excess attributable to its share
– Amortize the excess for the current year only

Determination of the Method Being Used

Yes

Intraperiod Purchase
• Simple Equity Method
– D&D schedule developed as of the date of purchase
– Sub closes nominal accounts on purchase date
– Consolidated income includes Sub income from date
of purchase
– Only subsidiary income earned after the purchase
date is distributed to the NCI and controlling interest
• Cost Method same as above except
– Eliminate intercompany dividends only
– Cost-to-Equity conversion is from date of purchase
18
Goodwill Impairment Losses
Impairment loss is
– reported in the consolidated income statement for the period in
which it occurs
– presented on a before-tax basis as part of continuing operations
Recognizing and recording the impairment
– Parent records its share of the impairment loss on its books and
credits the investment in subsidiary account; NCI share of the
loss is recorded on the worksheet or
– Impairment loss could be recorded only on the consolidated
worksheet

Tax-Related Adjustments
• Occurs when seller is not taxed; buyer gets book value
for future depreciation
• Adjustment from market to book accompanied by
DTL = tax % × market adjustment
• DTL is amortized over same period as asset adjustment;
increases tax liability in future years
• Tax loss carryover is asset recorded in purchase
– Limitations on its use in year of purchase and later years
• All amortizations and tax adjustments are carried to
Sub’s Income Distribution Schedule
