Paper For Above instruction
The task involves preparing the necessary accounting entries and financial statements to reflect the consolidation of a parent company and its subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 2011. This encompasses recording the parent's investment in the subsidiary via equity-method journal entries, appropriate depreciation and amortization of subsidiary net assets, elimination entries for consolidation, and compiling a comprehensive set of consolidated financial statements, notably including the consolidated statement of cash flows.
First, we must analyze the provided individual income statements for Starr Co. and Palm Corp. to understand their financial positions and the intercompany investment relationship. Starr Co. reports net sales of $700,900, intercompany investment income of $250,000, total revenue, cost of goods sold, gross margin, operating expenses (which include depreciation), interest expense, income tax expense, total expenses, and net income. Palm Corp. reports net sales of $1,000,000, gross profit, operating expenses, and other relevant figures, including depreciation expenses.
The key to preparing the consolidations and journal entries is understanding the intercompany investment and transaction adjustments, especially concerning depreciation and amortization of the subsidiary's net assets, as well as whether any unrealized intercompany profits exist. Since the problem specifies that depreciation of the building and patent amortization are partially allocated to cost of goods sold or operating expenses, these entries must be properly recorded.
Equity-Method Journal Entries
The initial investment is recorded at cost, and then, each year, the parent company recognizes its share of the subsidiary’s net income, reduces the investment account for dividends received, and adjusts for depreciation/amortization of fair value adjustments.
1. Recording subsidiary's net income:
Since intercompany investment income is recognized, the typical journal entry is:
```
Dr. Investment in Subsidiary
Cr. Equity Income from Subsidiary
```
Adjusted for the parent's percentage of ownership if specific ownership percentage resists clarification.
2. Dividends received:
Dividends reduce the investment account:
```
Dr. Cash
Cr. Investment in Subsidiary
```
3. Depreciation and amortization of subsidiary's assets:
As per the note, building depreciation is split: 1/2 charged to cost of goods sold and 1D (probably 1/2 in notation; assuming 1/2) to operating expense, and patent amortization is 10% of cost of goods sold.
For example, if the subsidiary has a building with fair value adjustments, the depreciation expense must be recorded annually. Similarly, patent amortization must be recognized.
Year-End Elimination Entries
To prepare consolidated financial statements, the following entries are necessary:
- Eliminate the investment account against the subsidiary’s equity.
- Record the subsidiary's net assets at fair value, including adjustments for those assets’ depreciation and amortization.
- Eliminate intra-entity transactions, such as intercompany sales or income (not explicitly specified here but generally standard practice).
Consolidated Financial Statements
The final step involves aggregating the financial data of the parent and subsidiary, removing intercompany transactions, adjusting for fair value adjustments of net assets, and preparing a consolidated statement of income, retained earnings, financial position, and cash flows.
Conclusion
This process requires detailed data about the subsidiary's assets' fair value adjustments, ownership percentage, and specific intercompany transaction details, which are not fully provided. Nevertheless, the approach involves recording investment in the subsidiary, recognizing the subsidiary’s share of income, adjusting for depreciation and amortization of fair value adjustments, eliminating intra-group balances, and preparing the consolidated financials.
