- A.
A) Valuation models based on subsidiary discounted cash flows.
- B.
B) Valuation models based on subsidiary residual income projections.
- C.
C) Comparison with comparable investments.
- D.
D) The application of a safe harbor discount rate.
- E.
E) Fair value based on market trades.
Correct Answer
D. D) The application of a safe harbor discount rate.Explanation
The safe harbor discount rate is not used to value a noncontrolling interest when a control premium is applied. This is because the safe harbor discount rate is a predetermined rate that is used to simplify the valuation process and provide a conservative estimate of fair value. It does not take into account the control premium that may be applied in certain circumstances. Therefore, it is not appropriate to use the safe harbor discount rate when determining the value of a noncontrolling interest with a control premium.Rate this question:

11- When a parent uses the equity method throughout the year to account for its 80% investment in an acquired subsidiary, which of the following statements is false at the date immediately preceding the date on which adjustments are made on the consolidated worksheet?
- A.
A) Parent company net income equals controlling interest in consolidated net income.
- B.
B) Parent company retained earnings equals consolidated retained earnings.
- C.
C) Parent company total assets equals consolidated total assets.
- D.
D) Parent company dividends equals consolidated dividends.
- E.
E) Goodwill is not recorded on the parent’s books.
Correct Answer
C. C) Parent company total assets equals consolidated total assets.Explanation
The equity method is used when a parent company has significant influence over an acquired subsidiary, but does not have full control. Under the equity method, the parent company records its share of the subsidiary's net income as an increase in its investment account. Therefore, the parent company's net income will not be equal to the controlling interest in consolidated net income. The same logic applies to dividends, as the parent company's dividends will not be equal to the consolidated dividends. However, the parent company's total assets will be equal to the consolidated total assets, as the parent company's investment in the subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the statement that is false is C) Parent company total assets equals consolidated total assets.Rate this question:

12- When a parent uses the initial value method throughout the year to account for its 80% investment in an acquired subsidiary, which of the following statements is true at the date immediately preceding the date on which adjustments are made on the consolidated worksheet?
- A.
A) Parent company net income equals consolidated net income.
- B.
B) Parent company retained earnings equals consolidated retained earnings.
- C.
C) Parent company total assets equals consolidated total assets.
- D.
D) Parent company dividends equal consolidated dividends.
- E.
E) Goodwill is recorded on the parent’s books.
Correct Answer
D. D) Parent company dividends equal consolidated dividends.Explanation
The initial value method is used to account for the parent company's investment in the acquired subsidiary. This method involves recording the investment at its initial value and then adjusting it for the parent company's share of the subsidiary's net income or loss. Since the parent company dividends are equal to the consolidated dividends, it means that the parent company's share of the subsidiary's dividends is accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, option D is the correct statement at the date immediately preceding the adjustments on the consolidated worksheet.Rate this question:

14- Which of the following statements is false regarding multiple acquisitions of a subsidiary's existing common stock?
- A.
A) The parent recognizes a larger percent of subsidiary income.
- B.
B) A step acquisition resulting in control may result in a parent recognizing a gain on revaluation.
- C.
C) The book value of the subsidiary will increase.
- D.
D) The parent's percent ownership in subsidiary will increase.
- E.
E) Noncontrolling interest in subsidiary's net income will decrease.
Correct Answer
C. C) The book value of the subsidiary will increase.Explanation
When a parent company acquires additional common stock of its subsidiary, the book value of the subsidiary does not increase. The book value represents the net assets of the subsidiary, and acquiring more common stock does not change the net assets. It may affect the parent's percent ownership in the subsidiary and the recognition of subsidiary income, but it does not directly impact the book value.Rate this question:

15- When a subsidiary is acquired sometime after the first day of the fiscal year, which of the following statements is true?
- A.
Income from subsidiary is not recognized until there is an entire year of consolidated operations.
- B.
B) Income from subsidiary is recognized from date of acquisition to year-end.
- C.
C) Excess cost over acquisition value is recognized at the beginning of the fiscal year.
- D.
D) No goodwill can be recognized.
- E.
E) Income from subsidiary is recognized for the entire year.
Correct Answer
B. B) Income from subsidiary is recognized from date of acquisition to year-end.Explanation
When a subsidiary is acquired sometime after the first day of the fiscal year, the income from the subsidiary is recognized from the date of acquisition to the year-end. This means that the financial statements will reflect the income generated by the subsidiary during that period. This is in accordance with the accrual accounting principle, which states that revenue should be recognized when it is earned, regardless of when the cash is received. Therefore, the correct answer is B) Income from subsidiary is recognized from date of acquisition to year-end.Rate this question:

- A.
A) Pre-acquisition earnings are deducted from consolidated revenues and expenses.
- B.
B) Pre-acquisition earnings are added to consolidated revenues and expenses.
- C.
C) Pre-acquisition earnings are deducted from the beginning consolidated stockholders' equity.
- D.
D) Pre-acquisition earnings are added to the beginning consolidated stockholders' equity.
- E.
E) Pre-acquisition earnings are ignored in the consolidated income statement.
Correct Answer
E. E) Pre-acquisition earnings are ignored in the consolidated income statement.Explanation
When a subsidiary is acquired on a date other than the first day of the fiscal year, the pre-acquisition earnings of the subsidiary are not included in the consolidated income statement. This is because the consolidated income statement only includes the earnings of the subsidiary from the date of acquisition onwards. The pre-acquisition earnings are considered to belong to the previous owners of the subsidiary and are not relevant to the consolidated financial statement. Therefore, they are ignored in the consolidated income statement.Rate this question:

- C.
C) The use of the averaging assumption is acceptable.
- D.
D) The use of specific LIFO assumption is acceptable.
- E.
E) The parent company must determine whether consolidation is still appropriate for the remaining shares owned.
Correct Answer
D. D) The use of specific LIFO assumption is acceptable.Explanation
The correct answer is D) The use of specific LIFO assumption is acceptable. The use of specific LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) assumption is not acceptable in the sale of subsidiary shares. LIFO assumes that the most recently acquired shares are the first to be sold, which is not appropriate in the sale of subsidiary shares as they may have been acquired at different times and prices. The use of specific identification based on serial number, FIFO (First-In, First-Out) assumption, and averaging assumption are all acceptable methods for determining the cost of the shares sold. Additionally, the parent company must determine whether consolidation is still appropriate for the remaining shares owned after the sale of subsidiary shares.Rate this question:

- B.
B) U.S. GAAP and IFRS both require acquisition-date fair value measurement.
- C.
C) U.S. GAAP and IFRS both require the acquiree’s identifiable net asset fair value measurement
- D.
D) U.S. GAAP requires acquisition-date fair value measurement, but IFRS allows an option for acquisition-date fair value measurement
- E.
E) U.S. GAAP and IFRS both apportion goodwill to the parent only.
Correct Answer
D. D) U.S. GAAP requires acquisition-date fair value measurement, but IFRS allows an option for acquisition-date fair value measurementExplanation
U.S. GAAP requires the measurement of noncontrolling interest at fair value as of the acquisition date, while IFRS allows an option for fair value measurement as of the acquisition date. This means that under U.S. GAAP, the noncontrolling interest is measured at its fair value at the time of acquisition, while under IFRS, there is flexibility in choosing the measurement method for the noncontrolling interest. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.Rate this question:

- B.
B) deducted from ending consolidated retained earnings.

C) allocated between the noncontrolling interest share and the parent's share.
- D.
D) only an entry in the parent company's general ledger.
Correct Answer
C. C) allocated between the noncontrolling interest share and the parent's share.Explanation
On consolidated working papers, a subsidiary's net income is allocated between the noncontrolling interest share and the parent's share. This is because when preparing consolidated financial statements, the parent company needs to account for the portion of the subsidiary's net income that belongs to the noncontrolling shareholders. This allocation ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the interests and ownership of both the parent and the noncontrolling shareholders in the consolidated entity.Rate this question:

A) Cash paid to employees
- B.
B) Noncontrolling interest dividends paid
- C.
C) Noncontrolling interest share
- D.
D) Proceeds from the sale of land
Correct Answer
C. C) Noncontrolling interest shareExplanation
Consolidated financial statements are prepared when a company has subsidiaries or other entities under its control. In contrast to single entity organizations, consolidated financial statements include the financial information of all subsidiaries and entities controlled by the company. When calculating cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, the noncontrolling interest share is included. This is because the noncontrolling interest represents the portion of the subsidiary's equity that is not owned by the parent company, and it is necessary to include this share in order to accurately reflect the cash flows generated by the subsidiary.Rate this question:

- C.
C) Unadjusted trial balances
- D.
D) The adjusted trial balance for the parent and the unadjusted trial balance for all controlled Subsidiaries
Correct Answer
B. B) Adjusted trial balancesExplanation
When preparing the consolidation workpaper for a company and its controlled subsidiary, the adjusted trial balances would be used for the entities being consolidated. Adjusted trial balances are prepared after adjusting entries have been made to the trial balances. These adjustments ensure that all revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are properly recorded and reflect the true financial position of the company. Therefore, using the adjusted trial balances for consolidation purposes would provide the most accurate and reliable information for the consolidated financial statements.Rate this question:
