90. What is pre-acquisition income?

When a company acquires control of a subsidiary during a fiscal year, pre-acquisition income is the income attributed to the previous owners of the shares of the common stock for the portion of the year before the acquisition.


91. Shedds Corp. owns less than one hundred percent of the voting common stock of Beta Co. Under what conditions will Shedds be required to prepare consolidated financial statements?

Shedds will be required to prepare consolidated financial statements if it has control of Beta. If Shedds has more than 50% of the voting common stock of Beta, it has control and must prepare consolidated financial statements. Occasionally, ownership of less than 50% of the voting common stock can confer control. In this situation, an argument can be made that the company with control should prepare consolidated financial statements, although not required currently.


92. Where may a non-controlling interest be presented on a consolidated balance sheet?

According to SFAS 160, a non-controlling interest must be shown on the balance sheet as a part of stockholders' equity. It may no longer be shown between liabilities and stockholders' equity or classified as neither.


93. A theory related to consolidation of a subsidiary is the economic unit concept. What are the theoretical arguments on which the economic unit concept is based?

The economic unit concept emphasizes the business combination being formed, rather than the parent company's investment. The subsidiary and its accounts cannot be divided along ownership lines. The controlled company must be consolidated as a whole. The subsidiary is perceived as an indivisible part of the consolidated entity. The income statement will show all the income that is generated by the net assets under the control of the parent company.


94. How would you determine the amount of goodwill to be recognized at date of acquisition when there is a non-controlling interest present and the economic unit concept is used?

The amount of goodwill to be recognized is calculated by subtracting the non-controlling interest's proportionate fair value of the net assets of the acquired entity from the fair value of the non-controlling interest as evidenced by the parent's consideration transferred for its own share of ownership.


95. How is a non-controlling interest in the net income of an entry reported in the income statement under the economic unit concept?

The non-controlling interest would appear as a clearly identifiable portion of consolidated net income such that the controlling portion plus the non-controlling portion equals the consolidated net income presented.


96. One company buys a controlling interest in another company on April 1. How should the pre-acquisition subsidiary revenues and expenses be handled in the consolidated balances for the year of acquisition?

Only post-acquisition revenues and expenses are included in consolidated totals. The non-controlling interest is thereby viewed as beginning as of the acquisition date.


97. Franklin, Inc. owns 80% of Prevatt Company. During the current year, a portion of the investment in Prevatt is sold. Prior to recording the sale, Franklin adjusts the book value of its investment. What is the purpose of the adjustment?

If control is maintained after the sale, then the difference between the sales proceeds and the book value is an adjustment to the parent's owners' equity. If control is not maintained, then such difference is a gain or loss on sale of investment. In either situation, the book value of the investment should be on the equity method basis in order to calculate the proper entry for the sale. Therefore, if Franklin adjusts the book value of its investment, it is in order to bring an initial value method or partial equity method investment basis to an equity method basis.


98. How does a parent corporation account for the sale of a portion of an investment in a subsidiary?

If control is maintained after the sale, then the difference between the sales proceeds and the book value is an adjustment to the parent's owners' equity (APIC). If control is not maintained, then such difference is a gain or loss on sale of investment. In either situation, the book value of the investment should be on the equity method basis in order to calculate the proper entry for the sale. Therefore, if the investment has been kept under the initial value or the partial equity method, the investor adjusts the book value of its investment in order to bring an initial value method or partial equity method investment basis to an equity method basis.
