Equity Method – A One-line Consolidation
• The investment is reported in a single amount on one
line of the investor’s balance sheet
• Investment income is reported in a single amount on
one line of the investor’s income statement
• A parent-company/investor’s income and stockholders’
equity are the same – under a complete and correct
application of equity method, and the financial
statement of a parent and subsidiary are consolidated

Equity Investments at Acquisition (reminder)
• Investment cost in voting common stock of other
entities – measured by cash disbursed or the fair
value of other assets distributed or securities issued
• Direct cost charged against additional paid-in capital
• Expense other direct costs of acquisition

Equity Investments at Acquisition
Payne Co purchases 30% of Sloan Co’s outstanding voting
common stock on January 1 from existing stockholders for
$2,000,000 cash plus 200,000 shares of Payne Co $10 par
common stock with a market value of $15 per share. Additional
cash costs of the equity interest consist of $50,000 for
registration of the shares and $100,000 for consulting and
advisory fees.
Note:
Under a one-line consolidation, entry can be made without the
knowledge of book value or fair value of Sloan Co’s assets and
liabilities.

Worksheet (Working Paper) for
Consolidation
• Assignment schedule and allocation of the difference
between cost of investment and book value
• Important issues:
1. Ownership percentage in subsidiary (100% wholly-
owned or less than wholly)
2. Compare investment cost with net assets book
value – any purchase differential should be assign
to adjust assets and/or liabilities acquired

Difference between investment cost
and book value
Situation 1
Investment cost = subsidiary’s net assets book value;
and parent company acquires 100% or less than 100%
subsidiary’s common stock
Situation 2
Investment cost > subsidiary’s net assets book value;
Situation 3
Investment cost < subsidiary’s net assets book value;

Consolidated Financial Statements
Consolidated financial statements present the
financial position and results of operations for:
• a parent (controlling entity) and
• one or more subsidiaries (controlled entities)
• as if the individual entities actually were a single
company or entity.

Benefits of Consolidated Financial
Statements
• Presented primarily for those parties having a long-
run interest in the parent company:
• shareholders,
• long-term creditors, or
• other resource providers.
• Provide a means of obtaining a clear picture of the
total resources of the combined entity that are under
the parent's control.

Limitations of Consolidated Financial
Statements
• Results of individual companies not disclosed (hides
poor performance).
• Financial ratios are not necessarily representative of
any single company in the consolidation.
• Similar accounts of different companies may not be
entirely comparable.
• Information is lost any time data sets are aggregated.

Subsidiary Financial Statements
• Creditors, preferred stockholders, and noncontrolling
common stockholders of subsidiaries are most
interested in the separate financial statements of the
subsidiaries in which they have an interest.
• Because subsidiaries are legally separate from their
parents,
• the creditors and stockholders of a subsidiary generally have
no claim on the parent, and
• the stockholders of the subsidiary do not share in the profits
of the parent.

Concepts and Standards
Traditional view of control includes:
• Direct control that occurs when one company owns
a majority of another company’s common stock.
• Indirect control or pyramiding that occurs when a
company’s common stock is owned by one or more
other companies that are all under common control.

Ability to Exercise Control
• Sometimes, majority stockholders may not be
able to exercise control even though they
hold more than 50 percent of outstanding
voting stock.
• Subsidiary is in legal reorganization or bankruptcy
• Foreign country restricts remittance of subsidiary profits
to domestic parent company
• The unconsolidated subsidiary is reported as
an intercorporate investment.

Noncontrolling Interest
• Only a controlling interest
is needed for the parent to
consolidate the
subsidiary—not 100%
interest.
• Shareholders of the
subsidiary other than the
parent are referred to as
“noncontrolling”
shareholders.
• Noncontrolling interest or
refers to the claim of these
shareholders on the
income and net assets of
the subsidiary.

Issue 1: Should 100% be Consolidated?
• Full consolidation required by US GAAP (100%)
• This means two special accounts appear in
consolidated statements:
• NCI in Net Income of Sub
• Like an “expense” in the consolidated income statement
• “Reported income that doesn’t belong to us.”
• NCI in Net Assets of Sub
• Equity of unrelated owners
• “Net assets on our balance sheet not belonging to us.”

Issue 2:
Where to report NCI in Net Assets?
• Old rules: Could report in in equity,
liabilities, or “no man’s land” between
liabilities and equity.
• New rules: Must report in equity
• FASB 160 makes clear that the noncontrolling
interest’s claim on net assets is an element of
equity, not a liability.

Noncontrolling Interest
• Computation of income to the
noncontrolling interest
• In uncomplicated situations, it is a simple
proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net income
• Presentation
• FASB 160 requires that
• the term “consolidated net income” be applied to the
income available to all stockholders,
• with the allocation of that income between the
controlling and noncontrolling stockholders shown.

Different Approaches to
Consolidation
• Theories that might serve as a basis for
preparing consolidated financial statements:
• Proprietary theory
• Parent company theory
• Entity theory
• With the issuance of FASB 141R, the FASB’s
approach to consolidation now focuses on
the entity theory.

Proprietary Theory
• Views the firm as an extension of its owners.
• Assets and liabilities of the firm are
considered to be those of the owners.
• Results in a pro rata consolidation where the
parent consolidates only its proportionate
share of a less-than-wholly owned subsidiary’s
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Parent Company Theory
• Recognizes that though the parent does not
have direct ownership or responsibility, it has
the ability to exercise effective control over all
of the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities, not
simply a proportionate share.
• Separate recognition is given, in the
consolidated financial statements, to the
noncontrolling interest’s claim on the net assets
and earnings of the subsidiary.

Entity Theory
• Focuses on the firm as a separate economic
entity, rather than on the ownership rights of
the shareholders.
• Emphasis is on the consolidated entity itself,
with the controlling and noncontrolling
shareholders viewed as two separate groups,
each having an equity in the consolidated
entity.

Comparison of Alternative Theories
• Proprietary approach – only the parent’s share
of a subsidiary’s assets and liability is included
in the consolidated BS based on fair value; the
parent’s share of goodwill is included.
• Parent company approach – all of the
subsidiary’s assets and liabilities in the
consolidated BS, only the parent’s share of fair
value increment and goodwill is included.
46

Comparison of Alternative Theories
• Entity approach – all subsidiary assets and
liabilities are included in the consolidated BS.
• All of the assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses of a less-than-wholly owned
subsidiary are included in the consolidated
financial statements, with no special treatment
accorded either the controlling or
noncontrolling interest.

Comparison of Alternative Theories -
Illustration
P Company acquires 80% of the stock of S Company on
January 1, 20X1, for $96,000. On that date, S Company
has a total fair value of $120,000 and the 20%
noncontrolling interest has a fair value of $24,000. S
Company holds assets with a book value of $100,000
and fair value $120,000.
The $20,000 fair value increment relates entirely to S
Company’s buildings and equipment, with a remaining
live of 10 years (straight line depreciation. For the year
20X1, P Company reports $200,000 net income and S
Company reports $30,000 net.
