Less: Other expenses | ($75,000) |
Net Income | $60,000 |
Income from S co. | $48,000 |
- M Co. received 80 percent dividend i.e. $16,000 from G Co., this will increase the cash account by the amount $16,000.
- Calculation of Amortization of excess value:
Particulars | Amount |
Fair Value | $191,250 |
Less: Book value | ($150,000) |

Investment in G’s stock | $29,000 | |||
(To eliminate the income from subsidiary) | ||||
2 | Income to non-controlling interest | $11,250 | ||
Dividends declared ($20,000 x 20%) | $4,000 | |||
Non-controlling interest | $7,250 | |||
(To eliminate the income assigned to NCI) | ||||
3 | Common stock- G Co. | $50,000 | ||
$100,000 | ||||
Differential | $66,250 | |||
Investment in G Co. | $173,000 | |||
Non-controlling interest | $43,250 | |||
(Elimination entry to reject the Investment balance) | ||||
4 | Buildings and equipment ($191,250-$150,000) | $41,250 | ||
$25,000 | ||||
Differential | $66,250 | |||
(To assign the differential) | ||||
5 | Depreciation expense ($41,250/11 years) | $3,750 | ||
| $3,750 | |||
(To amortize the differential) | ||||
6 | Accounts payable | $16,000 | ||
| $16,000 | |||
(To eliminate the inter-company receivable or payable) |
- In case of recording the eliminating entry, reverse all the journal entries. Here the elimination entry to reject the income from subsidiary is passed.
- The income assigned to non-controlling interest can be eliminated by debiting the income to the Non-controlling interest account and crediting the Non-controlling interest account.
Here,
The subsidiary stock is held within the consolidated entity and it does not represent the claims from outsiders. Hence, the subsidiary stock and retained earnings account should be eliminated.
- The profit realized from the disposal of building and equipment should be recorded as a differential.
- The depreciation expense is considered as an expense account. Thus, the increase in depreciation expense should be debited.
- M Co. reported an account payable of $16,000 to G Co. Thus, it would affect both accounts payable and accounts receivable. To eliminate this inter-company transaction, entry should be reversed.
