CONSOLIDATION EXAMPLE—INTERCOMPANY PROFIT FROMDOWNSTREAM SALESSeay Corporation is a 90%-owned subsidiary of Peak Corporation, acquired for $94,500cash on July 1, 2003, when Seay’s net assets consisted of $100,000 capital stock and $5,000retained earnings. The cost of Peak’s 90% interest in Seay was equal to book value and fairvalue of the interest acquired ($105,000 � 90%), and accordingly, no allocation to identifi-able and unidentifiable assets was necessary.

Peak sells inventory items to Seay on a regular basis, and the intercompany transactiondata for 2007 are as follows:

Sales to Seay in 2007 (cost $15,000), selling price $20,000Unrealized profits in Seay’s inventory at December 31, 2006 2,000Unrealized profits in Seay’s inventory at December 31, 2007 2,500Seay’s accounts payable to Peak at December 31, 2007 10,000

Incomplete Equity MethodAssume that Peak failed to consider its intercompany transactions in accounting for itsinvestment in Seay during 2006 and 2007. In that case, both Peak’s investment in Seayand its retained earnings account balances at December 31, 2006, would be $2,000 greaterthan under the equity method. This $2,000 overstatement is the result of failing to reduceinvestment and investment income amounts for the $2,000 unrealized profit in 2006. Theamount of overstatement of Peak’s investment in Seay and retained earnings balances

would increase by $500 to $2,500 at December 31, 2007, because the $2,000 unrealized profitsdeferred in 2006 would not be recognized in Peak’s 2007 income and the $2,500 unrealized profitat year-end 2007 would not be excluded from Peak’s income. The following table summarizesthese observations.

IncompleteEquity � Overstated � EquityMethod + Understated Method

Investment balance atDecember 31, 2006 $130,500 �$2,000 $128,500

Income from Seay in 2007 27,000 +2,000 ��2,500 26,500

Dividends received in 2007 (9,000) (9,000)Investment balance at

December 31, 2007 $148,500 �$2,500 $146,000

The errors of omitting the intercompany inventory profits affect the investment in Seay andretained earnings accounts of Peak by the same amount.

CONVERSION TO EQUITY METHOD APPROACH We convert the working papers for Peak and Seay for2007 to the equity method with the following working paper entry to correct for the omissions onPeak’s books:

a Income from Seay (�R, �SE) 500

Retained earnings—Peak (beginning) (�SE) 2,000

Investment in Seay (�A) 2,500

After entering this working paper correction, the other working paper entries would be the sameas those illustrated in the consolidation working papers of Exhibit 5-7. Peak could also record thisentry on its separate books before closing in 2007 to correct for all prior errors resulting from themisapplication of the equity method.

TRADITIONAL WORKING PAPER SOLUTION FOR INCOMPLETE EQUITY METHOD The initial approachto consolidating Peak and Seay financial statements under an incomplete equity method convertsthe income from subsidiary, investment in subsidiary, and retained earnings balances to a completeequity basis. Alternatively, we can adjust the consolidation working paper entries to accommodatean incomplete equity method without conversion to the equity basis. Exhibit I5-7 illustrates thisalternative working paper approach.

Only entries b and d differ from those appearing in Exhibit 5-7 under the equity method. Wereproduce these two working paper entries for convenient reference:

b Retained earnings—Peak January 1 (�SE) 2,000

Cost of goods sold (�E, +SE) 2,000

To adjust cost of goods sold and Peak’s beginning-of-the-period retained earnings for unrealized profits inthe beginning inventory.

d Income from Seay (�R, �SE) 27,000

Dividends (+SE) 9,000

Investment in Seay (�A) 18,000

To eliminate investment income (as recorded by Peak) and90% of Seay’s dividends and to reduce the investment accountto its beginning-of-the-period balance.

Beginning parent company retained earnings is overstated because Peak failed to eliminate the$2,000 unrealized profits in 2006. The overstatement amount is the difference between the transferprice and historical cost of the merchandise sold downstream. Entry b decreases Peak’s beginningretained earnings and cost of goods sold for realized profits in the beginning inventory. Entry deliminates the investment income recognized on Peak’s books and dividends received from Seay.Entry d also adjusts the investment account to its beginning-of-the-period balance.

EXHIBIT C5-6Peak and SubsidiaryCost-to-EquityConversion Schedule

Cost MethodIf Peak accounts for its investment in Seay using the cost method, the investment account and theDecember 31, 2007, retained earnings are understated by equal amounts in the parent’s separatebalance sheet. Also, instead of income from Seay, the income statement for 2007 shows dividendincome of $9,000. The investment in Seay account is $94,500—the original amount paid by Peakfor its investment.

CONVERSION TO EQUITY METHOD APPROACH The cost-to-equity conversion schedule in Exhibit C5-6is based on the same data as under the equity method for Peak and Seay, except that Peak maintainsits investment in Seay account using the cost method. The schedule provides information necessary toadjust the working paper accounts to what they would have been had Peak used the equity method.

We prepare the following consolidation working paper entry from the schedule:

a Dividend income (�R, �SE) 9,000

Investment in Seay (+A) 51,500

Retained earnings—Peak (+SE) 34,000

Income from Seay (R, +SE) 26,500

To eliminate dividend income, enter income from Seay, adjust the investment in Seayaccount to an equity basis, and convert Peak’s retained earnings to beginningconsolidated retained earnings.

After we enter this working paper adjustment, the other working paper entries are exactly thesame as those in Exhibit 5-7 under the equity method. The parent company may also record thisentry on its books before closing in 2007 to convert the parent company records to an equity basis.

TRADITIONAL WORKING PAPER SOLUTION FOR COST METHOD When Peak accounts for its invest-ment in Seay by the cost method, the financial statements of Peak and Seay are consolidated with-out converting to the equity method. Exhibit C5-7 illustrates consolidation working papers whenthe parent company accounts for its investment under the cost method without a working paperentry for conversion to the equity method.

Working paper entries from Exhibit C5-7 are reproduced for convenient reference:

a Sales (�R, �SE) 20,000

Cost of goods sold (�E, +SE) 20,000

To eliminate intercompany sales and related cost of goods sold.

Peak recognizes dividend income but does not record its share of Seay’s income oreliminate intercompany profits.

Entry d eliminates dividend income and 90% of Seay’s dividends. Entry e records minorityinterest in Seay’s earnings and dividends.

CONSOLIDATION EXAMPLE—INTERCOMPANY PROFITS FROM UPSTREAM SALESSmith Corporation is an 80%-owned subsidiary of Poch Corporation, acquired for $480,000 onJanuary 2, 2003, when Smith’s stockholders’ equity consisted of $500,000 capital stock and $100,000retained earnings. The investment cost was equal to the book value and fair value of Smith’s netassets acquired, so no cost/book value differential resulted from the business combination.

Smith Corporation sells inventory items to Poch Corporation on a regular basis. The intercom-pany transaction data for 2004 are as follows:

Sales to Poch in 2004 $300,000Unrealized profits in Poch’s inventory at December 31, 2003 40,000Unrealized profits in Poch’s inventory at December 31, 2004 30,000Intercompany accounts receivable and payable at December 31, 2004 10,000

Electronic Supplement to Chapter 5 7

Incomplete Equity MethodAssume that Poch Corporation failed to consider its intercompany transactions in accounting forits investment in Smith for 2003 and 2004. In that case, both Poch’s investment in Smith and itsretained earnings account balances at December 31, 2003, are $32,000 greater than under theequity method. This $32,000 overstatement is the result of Poch’s failure to reduce investment andinvestment income accounts for 80% of the $40,000 unrealized inventory profit in 2003.

By December 31, 2004, the overstatement decreases to $24,000 because the $32,000 deferredfrom 2003 is not recognized in Poch’s income for 2004, and the $24,000 unrealized profit for 2004(80% of $30,000 unrealized profit at December 31, 2004) is not excluded from Poch’s 2004income. These observations are summarized by comparison with the equity method examplealready illustrated (in thousands):

Incomplete EquityEquity � Overstated � MethodMethod + Understated (see Exhibit 5-8)

Investment balance atDecember 31, 2003 $600 �$32 $568

Income from Smith in 2004 80 +32 ��24 88

Dividends received in 2004 (40) (40)Investment balance at

December 31, 2004 $640 �$24 $616

CONVERSION TO EQUITY METHOD APPROACH The errors from omitting the intercompany profits in 2003and 2004 affect the investment in Smith and retained earnings accounts of Poch by equal amounts.

A working paper entry to correct for the omissions on Poch’s books in the 2004 consolidationworking papers of Poch and Subsidiary is as follows:

a Retained earnings—Poch (�SE) 32,000

Income from Smith (R, +SE) 8,000

Investment in Smith (�A) 24,000

This working paper entry converts the separate accounts of Poch from the incomplete equity tothe equity method for working paper utilization. After entering the conversion in the workingpapers, the other working paper entries are the same as those illustrated in the consolidation work-ing papers of Exhibit 5-8. The conversion entry could also be recorded in Poch’s separate recordsbefore closing in 2004 to correct for the 2003 and 2004 errors of omission.

TRADITIONAL WORKING PAPER SOLUTION FOR INCOMPLETE EQUITY METHOD Exhibit I5-8 illustratesthe traditional approach to consolidating the financial statements of Poch and Smith under an incom-plete equity method. Beginning parent company retained earnings is overstated by Poch’s share of theunrealized profits in Poch’s December 31, 2003, inventory of goods acquired from Smith. Entry beliminates the $40,000 cost-of-goods-sold effect of the intercompany profits in Poch’s beginninginventory, and allocates it 80% to Poch’s beginning-of-the-period retained earnings and 20% tobeginning-of-the-period minority interest. Entry d eliminates income from Smith (as recorded byPoch) and 80% of Smith’s dividends, and reduces the investment account to its beginning-of-the-period balance. Other entries in Exhibit I5-8 are the same as those under the equity method.

Cost MethodIf Poch Corporation uses the cost method of accounting for its investment in Smith for 2003 and2004, its investment in Smith account remains at $480,000, the original cost of the investment.Assume the same facts for Poch and Smith as shown in Exhibit 5-8 under the equity method,except that Poch accounts for the investment in Smith by the cost method.

CONVERSION TO EQUITY METHOD APPROACH Exhibit C5-9 provides data for the working paperentry to convert Poch’s cost-based accounting records to the equity basis. We use the informationin the cost-to-equity conversion schedule to construct a consolidation working paper entry for Pochand Smith as follows:
