Answer to Problem 10.1Q

Fourth part consolidation worksheet cannot be used because beginning and ending consolidated balance sheet totals are needed to determine cash flow for the period.

Explanation of Solution

The balance sheet, income statement and statement of changes in retained earnings are an integrated set and generally needed to be completed as a unit. Once completed these statements can then be sued to prepare the consolidated cash flow statement. Because both the beginning and ending consolidated balance sheet totals are needed to determine the cash flow for a period, the cash flow statement cannot be easily incorporated into the existing three part consolidated worksheet.
