Correct Answer
E. E) To Regency because Regency is the controlling party in the business combination.Explanation
The correct answer is E) To Regency because Regency is the controlling party in the business combination. In an intra-entity transaction, the controlling party is responsible for any gains or losses that arise from the transaction. Since Regency Corp. acquired the bonds of Safire Co., it is considered the controlling party in this scenario. Therefore, any loss resulting from the acquisition of the bonds should be attributed to Regency.Rate this question:

Dividends paid to the noncontrolling interest of a subsidiary are considered as a distribution of profits to the owners of the subsidiary. As a result, these dividends are categorized as cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statement of cash flows. This is because financing activities involve transactions with owners or investors, and the payment of dividends to noncontrolling interests falls under this category.Rate this question:

This means that no special elimination is required for these transfers. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.Rate this question:

- E.
E) Consolidated income divided by total number of shares outstanding for the parent and subsidiary.
Correct Answer
C. C) Consolidated net income divided by parent's number of shares outstanding.Explanation
The correct answer is C) Consolidated net income divided by parent's number of shares outstanding. This is because consolidated earnings per share is calculated by dividing the consolidated net income (which includes the net income of both the parent and the subsidiary) by the number of shares outstanding for the parent company. Since the subsidiary has no convertible securities or warrants, its earnings per share is not factored into the calculation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
E. E) Consolidated net income is not affected by a gain or loss on the debt transaction.Explanation

Consolidated net income is determined by combining the individual net incomes of the parent company and its subsidiaries, but the gain or loss from this specific debt transaction does not factor into that calculation.Rate this question:

A variable interest entity (VIE) is a legal entity that is created to hold a specific set of assets and liabilities. It is commonly used in situations where one company wants to have control over another entity without actually owning it. VIEs can take various forms, such as trusts, partnerships, joint ventures, and corporations. However, an estate is not a form that a VIE can take. An estate is typically used to describe the assets and liabilities left behind by a deceased person, and it is not structured in the same way as a VIE.Rate this question:

C. C) Entitles holder to receive shares of common stock.Explanation
The potential losses or returns of a variable interest entity are related to financial outcomes such as residual profits, increases in asset fair value, honoring a debt guarantee, or honoring a guarantee related to a leased asset. However, receiving shares of common stock is not a potential loss or return as it represents ownership in a company rather than a financial outcome.Rate this question:
