ASSIGNMENT MATERIAL
Review Questions
1. An acquired businesss preacquisition earnings are never combined with the preacquisition earnings of the
acquiring entity. Thus they are eliminated in consolidation.
2. In a parent-subsidiary relationship, a liquidating dividend can occur only if the subsidiary was acquired (as
opposed to being created by the parent). In such situations, a liquidating dividend occurs when the
subsidiarys postacquisition dividends exceed the subsidiarys postacquisition earnings.
3. Under the equity method, liquidating dividends are recorded as a liquidation of the parents investmentthe
same treatment accorded nonliquidating dividends. Under the cost method, liquidating dividends are
recorded as a liquidation of the parents investmentnot as dividend income.
4. Under the equity method, amortization of a parents cost in excess of book value is recorded in its general
ledger. Under the cost method, amortization of a parents cost in excess of book value is not recorded in its
general ledger but on the consolidation worksheet during the consolidation process.
5. An acquired subsidiarys financial statements are relevant amounts only if the subsidiary has applied pushdown accounting to bring all accounts to their current values.
6. Goodwill must be tested for impairment annually (or more often if certain triggering events occur).
7. A reporting unit is either an operating segment (as defined by FAS 131) or a component of an operating
segment.
8. A reporting units fair value is determined using estimation techniques (such as calculating the present value
probability-weighted estimated future cash flows). Both the reporting units recognized intangible assets
(other than goodwill) and unrecognized intangible assets (other than goodwill) are included in determining
the reporting units fair value.
9. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. (At the acquisition date, goodwill is assigned
to the appropriate reporting unit(s).)
10. Goodwills implied fair value is determined in a residual manner (in Step 2 of the impairment test) as if the
reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination on that testing date (a pro forma exercise).
11. Goodwill impairment writedowns are reported currently in the income statement as a separate line item
before the subtotal Income from Continuing Operations.
12. Under the parent company concept, an acquired subsidiarys assets and liabilities are revalued to their
current values only to the extent that the parent bought and paid for such undervaluation.
Under the economic unit concept, an acquired subsidiarys assets and liabilities are revalued to 100% of their
current values.
13. Under the parent company concept, goodwill is limited to the amount of goodwill actually paid for.
Under the economic unit concept, goodwill can be either (1) the goodwill implicit in the transactions (which
imputes an amount that accrues to the noncontrolling interest) or (2) the amount actually paid for by the
parent (same amount as determined under the parent company concept).
14. The FASBs latest proposal on consolidation procedures (May 1996) requires goodwill to be reported at the
amount that was bought and paid for by the parentno amounts are imputed to the noncontrolling interest.
(This proposal is currently on hold.)
15. In a step acquisition in which a noncontrolling interest exists, the subsidiarys assets and liabilities are
revalued (1) to 100% of their current values in consolidation under the economic unit concept and (2) only to
the extent of the parents ownership percentage under the parent company concept.

Implied Fair Value of Goodwill ($160,000 below its book value of $290,000).................... $ 130,000
If the reporting units fair value were $1,000,000, step one of the impairment test would show that no goodwill
impairment had occurred (reporting units carrying value of $990,000 is below its fair value of $1,000,000).
Accordingly, step 2 is not required and no impairment loss would be recognizedeven though the goodwills
implied fair value is $160,000 below its book value.
Realistically, the result is as if (1) the goodwill was written down by $160,000 and (2) nongoodwill assets were
written up in total by $160,000 ($20,000 + $50,000 + $100,000 less $10,000 [$1,000,000 - $990,000]).

This amount assumes that the period from 1/1/06 to the acquisition date of 5/1/06 is not consolidated. If this
period were consolidated (an acceptable practice), the Preacquisition Earnings of $100,000 for this period
would be reported as a deduction in the consolidated income statement. Of this amount, $10,000 (10% of the
$100,000) may be classified as part of the noncontrolling interest deduction.

Proof: Book value of $202,000 + $110,000 - $42,000 - $30,000 = $240,000 of current value of the net assets.
Current value of net assets of $240,000 - $190,000 of parents cost ($120,000 + $70,000) = $50,000 BPE.
bThe bargain purchase element was allocated to Land Held for Development, because this is the subsidiarys only
noncurrent asset.
cDuring 2006, the subsidiary sold land costing $200,000, which is one-third of the $600,000 book value in the
Land Held for Development account at the acquisition date. Accordingly, one-third of the $60,000 difference
between current value and book value at the acquisition date must be amortized in 2006.

Technically, the $5,000 of amortization relating to the long-term debt should be reflected in the income
statement as a reduction to interest expense. Also, because the subsidiary amortized $14,000 of deferred charges
to Expenses (rather than to Cost of Sales), the $14,000 amortized from the Investment account should likewise
be reflected as a reduction to Expenses.

Requirement 5
Partial-year consolidation. The parent may include the subsidiary's revenues, costs, and expenses for the period
4/1/06 through 12/31/06, with its own 2006 revenues, costs, and expenses. Accordingly, the parent would report
the equity in the subsidiary's first-quarter net income as a one-line item in the income statement. The income
statement would show $21,000.
Full-Year Consolidation. Alternatively, the parent may include the subsidiary's revenues, costs, and expenses
for the entire year with its own 2006 revenues, costs, and expenses so that both companies show full-year
amounts. Accordingly, the $19,000 amount in the Equity in Net Income of Subsidiary account that pertains to the
parent's 30% ownership interest during the first quarter of 2006 ($21,000 - $2,000 of goodwill amortization) is
eliminated in consolidating the first quarter's income statement. Furthermore, the subsidiary's remaining $49,000
of net income for the pre-control period of 1/1/06 through 3/31/06 (70% x $70,000)--that the parent did not
record under the equity method of accounting--is reported as a deduction in the consolidated income statement.
This $49,000 deduction can be reported in either of two ways:
(1) Reporting the entire $49,000 deduction as a separate line item called "Preacquisition Earnings of
Acquired Subsidiary." Under this approach, the NCI deduction is based only on the subsidiary's earnings
that occurred subsequent to the control date (4/1/06), because a noncontrolling interest could not have
existed prior to that date.
(2) Splitting the $49,000 deduction between "Preacquisition Earnings of Acquired Subsidiary" and
Noncontrolling Interest in Net Income. Under this approach, which is that of "as if the control date had
been established at the beginning of the year," the $49,000 amount is split between the parent and the
noncontrolling interest as follows:
Parent's portion (45% of $70,000)................................................................ $31,500

Accordingly, an additional $17,500 is added to the NCI amount otherwise calculated for the period from the
control date to the end of 2008 (the $60,000 amount calculated in requirement 4 [25% x $240,000]). The
remaining $31,500 is reported as a separate line item called "Preacquisition Earnings of Acquired Subsidiary."

Note: Some students may improperly ignore the $ 30,000 of amortization in this calculation, which gives a
15% return on investment. The $ 30,000 is subtracted because a new basis of accounting for the subsidiary's assets has resulted from the business combination. In explaining this to students, it is often
useful to point out that if assets instead of common stock had been acquired, the division's net
income would have been $ 120,000.

Because the $100,000 dividend was paid at the beginning of 2006 (January 3), the parent had only $900,000
invested in the subsidiary during 2006. On 1/3/06, this dividend would be considered a liquidating dividend.

The parent really has only $ 250,000 of capital at risk from 1/2/05 forward-the $ 75,000 dividend is a liquidation
of the investment.

Requirement 3
Because the parent has recorded only $10,000 of amortization of cost in excess of book value in 2007, it
evidently would report the following amounts in its 2007 income statement:
Equity in net loss of subsidiary
($60,000 + $10,000 of amortization)............ $ (70,000)

Includes $141,360 loss on sale of the investment on 12/31/07 ($430,000 - $288,640). Many students will
inadvertently not include this loss in the numerator. The information in the problem indicates that the good-will lost
its value in early 2007. If all the good-will had been written off at the time, the 2007 amortization would have been
$110,000 more and the loss on sale of the subsidiary would have been $110,000 less.
Requirement 5:
Earning and Amortization
The beginning-of-year investment balance should be used. Accordingly, the subsidiary's earnings and parent's
amortization should be ignored, even though these items were assumed to occur evenly throughout the year. By so
doing, the true return on investment is obtained. This is best explained using the following example:

Solution:
Interest earned in first six months (10% x $100,000 x 1/2 yr.)$ 5,000
Interest earned in second six months (10% x $105,000 x 1/2 yr.)$ 5,250
Total Interest Income ... $10,250
Financial institutions quote not only a stated rate but also a yield rate. In this case, the yield is 10.25%
($10,250 / $100,000). If the average investment were used, 10% would be the ROI ($10,250 / $102,500). In
financial circles, the yield is generally considered the true return on investment.
It should be noted, however, that some finance texts advocate using an average investment balance that
considers the earnings of the business. This is not necessarily wrong - there is just a difference of opinion as to
which is the more appropriate technique.
Dividends
Dividends should be ignored as long as they are declared and paid at year-end. If they are declared near the very
beginning of the year (such as January 5), the beginning investment balance should be reduced by the dividends in
determining the appropriate denominator. If the dividends are declared and paid at other than the beginning or end
of the year, they should be ignored unless the dividends exceed the current year earnings to date. If the dividends
exceed the current year earnings to date, a partial liquidation of the investment has occurred; accordingly, an
average investment balance must be calculated for the year. This is illustrated in requirement 6.
Requirement 6:
Assumption A: The $125,000 2005 dividend is declared and paid in early January 2005 (rather than at the end of
2005):
In this case, the beginning 2005 investment balance of $500,000 should be reduced by $100,000 (80% $125,000)
in determining the appropriate denominator in 2002's AROI calculation.
$200,000
$400,000
= 50%
Assumption B: The $125,000 2005 dividend is declared and paid in early July 2005 (rather than at the end of
2005):
In this case the $100,000 dividend received by the parent equals the subsidiary's earnings that the parent would
record under the equity method of accounting for the first six months of 2005 (net of the amortization).
Accordingly, the dividend should be viewed as a distribution of current year earnings rather than a return (or
liquidation) of the beginning-of-year capital balance. Consequently, the parent's beginning-of-year capital balance
of $500,000 should be used in the denominator of the AROI calculation.
$200,000
$500,000
40%
Note: If the parent had received a $200,000 dividend in early July 2005 (instead of $100,000), the incremental
$100,000 would be treated as a reduction of the beginning-of-year capital balance of $500,000 in
determining the capital invested during the last six months of 2005. As a result, the parent's investment
during the first six months should be $500,000, and the investment during the last six months would be
$400,000. Accordingly, an average investment balance of $450,000 would be used as the denomination in
2005's AROI calculation.

The cash flow table follows:

2004
-02005 100,000
2006 160,000
2007 288,640
The internal rate of return is 10%.
Requirement 8:
General Comment. In using the IRR function of Excel or LOTUS 1-2-3, the cash flow amount for any given
period is always assumed to occur at the end of the period. Accordingly, cash flows that take place at other than the
end of a period need to be treated carefully to assign them the most appropriate period regardless of the period in
which they actually occur.
Assumption A: The $125,000 2005 dividend is paid 1/3/06 (rather than on 12/31/05):
This cash flow of $100,000 (80% x $125,000) should still be shown as 2005 cash flow because it occurred closer
to the end of 2005 than the end of 2006.
Assumption B: The $125,000 2005 dividend is paid 1/5/05 (rather than on 12/30/05):
This cash flow of $100,000 (80% x $125,000) should be shown as 2001 cash flow because it occurred closer to the
end of 2001 than the end of 2005.
The internal rate of return would be 10.74%.
Assumption C: The $125,000 2005 dividend is paid 7/1/05 (rather than on 12/30/05):
This cash flow of $100,000 (80% $125,000) cannot be assigned entirely to either 2004 or 2005. A practical
manner of dealing with this is to divide the $100,000 equally with $50,000 being shown as a 2001 cash flow and
$50,000 being shown as a 2005 cash flow.
The internal rate of return is 10.36%.
An alternate approach is to view the four years as comprising eight periods, whereby the $100,000 cash
flow received on 7/1/05 is assigned to the third period. The percentage obtained is 5.05%. Multiplying this percent
by 2 gives an annual percentage return (APR in financial sections of newspapers) of 10.1%, which is a rough
approximation of the correct answer. Technically, the following formula should be used:
Thus
(1 + r)2
(1 + .505) 2
1
1
10.35%
Note: The squaring power is a function of the number of periods in a year; if quarterly periods were used, the
squaring power would be four.
Observe that this answer is very close to the 10.36% obtained by evenly splitting the $100,000 between the two
years.

Both the AROI calculations and the IRR calculation are correct. The IRR of 10%, however, is merely an
artificial, assumed average return over the four years. The AROI percentages in requirement 4 show exactly what
happened each individual yearsomething the 10% IRR percentage cannot do. Thus each calculation serves a
different purpose. The only meaningful way to compare the two calculations is to compare the 8.25% average of
the AROI calculations ([25% + 10% 42%]/4) to the 10% IRR rate.
It should be pointed out that the AROI percentages are only as good as the validity of the amounts used in
the numerator and denominator.
Requirement 11:
The parents return on its investment for 2007 would be the same ( 42%) whether the subsidiary was sold on
12/31/07 or 1/3/08. If sold on 1/3/08, the carrying value of the investment at 12/31/07 should not exceed the
proceeds received on 1/3/08. Accordingly, a write-down of $141,360 would have to be made to the investment at
12/31/07.
Technically, the goodwill (which is included in the parents Investment account) should have been
written off in early 2007 (when it lost its value). At 12/31/07, the unamortized goodwill is $110,000 ($150,000
$40,000 of amortization to date). The difference between the $141,360 and the $110,000 suggests that the
subsidiary has other assets stated in excess of their realizable values by $31,360 at 12/31/07.

the land results in reporting the noncontrolling interest at $400,000 above the noncontrolling interest in the book
value of the subsidiary's net assets. Because the noncontrolling interest is classified as part of stockholders' equity,
stockholders' equity is substantially greater under the economic unit concept than under the parent company

Under the economic unit concept, the entire amount of goodwill implicit is the transaction is reported in
consolidation. The additional goodwill imputed to exist results in a greater noncontrolling interest in consolidation.
In this exercise, the $300,000 additional goodwill reported in consolidation increases the noncontrolling interest.
