This document, Chapter 5 in the Advanced FA II series, focuses on Consolidated Financial Statements Subsequent to the Date of Acquisition, as authored by MengstD. It delves into the complexities of consolidation arising from the passage of time, including how it impacts internal record-keeping and the variability of the investment account balance based on the accounting method employed. The parent company has the option to utilize either the Cost Method or the Equity Method of accounting. To present a unified set of financial statements for the combined business entity, a worksheet and specific consolidation entries are utilized to eliminate the investment account and formally record the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities. The chapter outlines the process of consolidating a wholly owned subsidiary subsequent to the acquisition date, specifically detailing the equity method. A case study involving ABC Company's 100 percent acquisition of XYZ Company on January 1, 2011, for Br 900,000 is presented. Crucially, it details the asset and liability values of the subsidiary at both book and fair values on the acquisition date. Further scenarios involve XYZ Company earning Br 200,000 in income and distributing a Br 30,000 cash dividend on May 1, assuming ABC Company employs the equity method. The required tasks include recording necessary entries and preparing consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011. The document provides a detailed allocation of the acquisition-date subsidiary fair value, breaking down the Br 900,000 consideration transferred by ABC Company against XYZ Company’s book value of Br 700,000, resulting in an excess of Br 200,000. This excess is meticulously allocated to specific accounts like Inventory, Trademarks, Patented Technology, and Building, with the remaining amount identified as goodwill.
