Explanation of Solution

An acquisition of assets is the purchase of a corporation by purchasing its assets rather than its stock. An acquisition is when one company acquires most or all of the shares of another company to gain control over that company. An investment in equity is money which is invested in a company by buying that company's shares in the stock market. Typically, those shares are traded in a stock exchange.

The required journal entry recorded by the subsidiary is as follows:

DateAccount title and ExplanationPost RefDebit ($)Credit ($)
 Cash $198,000 
 Accumulated depreciation $40,000 
 Equipment  $200,000
 Gain on sale of Equipment  $38,000
 

(To record the sale of equipment)

Working notes:

In January of 2014, the subsidiary sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $198,000. The parent retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 8-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $198,000/8 i.e., $24,750

The subsidiary had acquired the equipment at a cost of $200,000 and depreciated the equipment over its 10 year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $200,000/10 i.e., $20,000.

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$24,750$20,000=$4,750

Explanation of Solution

The portion of gain noticed on a property exchange that is not currently taxed. The gain is generally taxed when the property acquired in the exchange is sold. An exchange of property that is not currently taxed is part of the realized gain. The gain is generally taxed at the time of sale of the property acquired at the exchange.

In January of 2014, the subsidiary sold Equipment to the subsidiary for a cash price of $198,000. The parent retained the depreciation policy of the parent and depreciates the equipment over its remaining 8-year useful life.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $198,000/8 i.e., $24,750

The subsidiary had acquired the equipment at a cost of $200,000 and depreciated the equipment over its 10 year useful life using the straight-line method.

Depreciation charged by the parent on equipment is $200,000/10 i.e., $20,000.

Calculate excess depreciation:

Excess Depreciation=$24,750$20,000=$4,750

Operating expenses of the subsidiary is $160,000

Gain on the sale of equipment is $38,000

Through the BOY, two years have passed, so the deferred gain at the start of the current year is as follows:

Deferred gain=$38,0002×$4,750=$28,500

Hence, the remaining portion of the deferred gain on Jan 1, 2016 is $28,500.

Subsidiary net income is $190,000

AAP Depreciation is $4,750

Deferred gain on intercompany sale is $51,000

The computation to yield the income (loss) from subsidiary reported by the parent company during2016is as follows:

ParticularsAmount ($)
Subsidiary net income$190,000
AAP Depreciation($4,750)
Deferred gain on intercompany sale($51,000)

Consolidated financial statements are a group of entities financial statements that are presented as those of a single economic entity. They are the financial statements of a group in which the parent company and its subsidiaries introduce their assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, expenses and cash flows as those of a single business organization.

A consolidated balance sheet provides a parent company's assets and liabilities and all of its subsidiaries in a legal document, without any differentiation on which items pertain to which companies.

Consolidation worksheet is an instrument used to prepare a parent's consolidated financial statements and their subsidiaries. It demonstrates the individual book values of companies, the adjustments and eliminations necessary, and the consolidated final values.

The consolidated spreadsheet for the year ended December 31, 2016 is shown below:
