midway through its fiscal year.

The parent owned an 80% interest and sold a 20% interest to reduce its ownership percentage to 60%.
(3)
The parent owned an 80% interest and sold a 60% interest to reduce its ownership percentage to 20%.
Required:
a.
For each of the above cases, comment on the procedures necessary to record the sale, where the investment is carried under simple equity,
and the impact on consolidated income of the sale.
b.
For each of the above cases, state the added procedures that would be necessary if the investment was recorded under the cost method.
40. A subsidiary company may have preferred stock as part of its equity structure. Further, suppose that the
