Summary of GAAP Requirements for Consolidation
All intercompany transactions must be eliminated in
consolidation.
The full amount of unrealized intercompany profit or gain must
be eliminated.
The deferral is shared with NCI shareholders in upstream, but not
downstream, transactions.

Intercompany Land Transfers
When intercompany transfers of noncurrent assets occur, the
parent company must make adjustments in preparation of
consolidated financial statements for as long as the acquiring
company holds the assets.
When related companies transfer land at book value, no
special adjustments are needed in preparing the consolidated
financial statements.
When intercompany gains or losses on asset transfers occur,
the parent company can choose to use the fully adjusted
equity method, which requires it to adjust its investment
and income from subsidiary accounts to remove the
unrealized gains/losses.

Example 2: 100 Percent Ownership Land Transfer
On 3/31/X5, Parker Inc. sold land costing $40,000 to its
100 percent–owned subsidiary, Stubben Inc., for $100,000.
Now assume Parker adjusts for this transaction in the
equity accounts.
This is the fully adjusted equity method!
How would your answers change?
Required:
1. Prepare the consolidation entry(ies) as of 12/31/X5 and
12/31/X6.
2. Prepare the consolidation entry at 12/31/X7, assuming that
Stubben sold the land in 20X7 for $120,000.

Exercise 1: Partial Ownership Land Transfer -
Downstream
Stubben Corporation is a 90%-owned subsidiary of Parker
Corporation, acquired for $270,000 on 1/1/X5.
Investment cost was equal to book value and fair value.
Stubben’s net income in 20X5 was $70,000, and Parker’s
operating income, excluding its investment income from
P
Stubben, was $90,000.
Parker’s 20X5 operating income above includes a $10,000
unrealized gain on land that cost $40,000 and was sold to
NCI
Stubben for $50,000. 90%
Assume that Stubben sold the land in 20X7 for $65,000.
Assume Parker adjusts for this transaction in the equity 10%
accounts.
NOTE: This is a downstream transaction. Any related deferral is
not shared with NCI. Fully-adjusted equity method used.

Exercise 1: Solution Summary
7-24
Upstream Sale of Land (1 of 3)
When an upstream transfer of land results in the recording of an
intercompany gain on the subsidiary’s books, the gain is
unrealized until the land is resold to a non-affiliate party and must
be eliminated during consolidation, similar to downstream
transfer.
When the asset is not resold to a non-affiliate before the end of the
period, consolidation entries are different from the downstream
case only by the allocation of the unrealized gain to both the
parent and NCI. All the parent’s equity-method entries and the
consolidation entries in the consolidation worksheet are identical
to those in the downstream case

Exercise 2: Partial Ownership Land Transfer -
Upstream
Stubben Corporation is a 90%-owned subsidiary of
Parker Corporation, acquired for $270,000 on 1/1/X5.
Investment cost was equal to book value and fair value.
P
Stubben’s net income in 20X5 was $70,000, and
Parker’s operating income, excluding its income from
Stubben, was $90,000.
NCI
Stubben’s 20X5 net income above includes a $10,000 90%
unrealized gain on land that cost $40,000 and was
sold to Parker for $50,000 (upstream; deferral shared 10%
with NCI).
Assume that Parker sold the land in 20X7 for $65,000.

equity accounts.

Transfers of Depreciable Assets
The major difference between depreciable and non-depreciable
assets:
Depreciation!
You have a “moving target” of unrealized gain/loss instead of a stationary
target. But, the concepts are the same!
The deferred unrealized gain/loss considered realized gradually as the asset is
being used in operation by the buyer.
Adjust for:
Unrealized gain/loss (same as with land). and
Difference in depreciation expenses
The goal is to get back to the asset’s old basis “as if ” it were still on
the books of the original owner.
For Consolidation, depreciation must be based on the cost of the asset to the
consolidated entity (i.e., the asset’s cost to the affiliate company that
originally purchased it from an outsider).
One difference—depreciation going forward based on the new estimated
remaining useful life and salvage value (if estimates revised)
Same as a change in depreciation estimates on any company’s books

What’s relevant?
The acquirer’s estimated remaining useful
life (if different from the original remaining
life).

Example 3: “End of Year” Transfer –
Downstream
Assume Padre Corp. purchased a machine on 1/1/20X1 for
$100,000 and estimated that the machine would have a useful
life of 10 years with no salvage value. After two years, on
12/31/20X2, Padre Corp. sold the machine to its 100% owned
subsidiary, Sonny Co., for $90,000. Sonny Co. estimated that the
asset had a remaining useful life of five years.
What is the amount of the gain or loss recorded by Padre at
the time of the machine transfer?

Example 4: “Beginning of Year” Transfer
Assume Padre Corp. purchased a machine on 1/1/20X1 for
$100,000 and estimated that the machine would have a useful
life of 10 years with no salvage value. After two years, on
1/1/20X3, Padre Corp. sold the machine to its 100% owned
subsidiary, Sonny Co., for $90,000. Sonny Co. estimated that the
asset had a remaining useful life of five years.
How much depreciation expense will Sonny actually record in 20X3?
Actual Depreciation Expense = (Cost – SV) / # years left
= (90,000 – 0) / 5 years = $18,000
How much depreciation expense would Padre have recorded in 20X3
if it had retained the machine and simply changed the estimated life to
five years?
“As if” Depreciation Expense = (BV – SV) / # years left
= (80,000 – 0) / 5 years = $16,000

Transfer at the End of the Year - Downstream
On Pericles Corporation sells machinery to its 80%-owned
subsidiary, Sophocles Corporation, on 12/31/20X4. The
machinery has a book value of $60,000 on this date (cost
$120,000 and accumulated depreciation $60,000), and it is
sold to Sophocles for $90,000. Thus, this transaction produces
an unrealized gain of $30,000. Assume that Pericles adjusts its
equity method accounts accordingly.

Example 6: Depreciable Asset Transfer at
Beginning of Year 20X4 - Downstream
Given all other information from the previous example, assume
that the transfer takes place on 1/1/20X4. Also, assume that
as of the date of transfer, the machinery has a five-year
remaining useful life (with no residual value) and that
Sophocles uses straight-line depreciation. In addition to the
journal entries to record the transfer of the asset, Sophocles
also records depreciation expense of $18,000 for 20X4
($90,000 / 5 years). (partial ownership, downstream)
Note: Transfer is on first day of the year on 1/1/20X4.
Required:

adjust for the unrealized gain from this transaction?
2. What worksheet entry(ies) would Pericles make to
consolidate on this date?

the time of the sale, the equipment had accumulated
depreciation of $110,000. Peanut continued depreciating
the equipment using the straight-line method and assigned a
remaining useful life of five years.
