Revenues, gains, and net income are in parentheses to indicate that their signs are
opposite those of expenses and losses; that is, they are credits for those interpret-

year later because the liabilities have been satisfied faster than the assets have been
amortized.
8.21 Variable-Interest Entities.
a. RMBC is a joint venture with Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. in which
Molson Coors holds a 50% interest. RMBC produces glass bottles at a glass
manufacturing facility for use at the Golden, Colorado brewery. Under this
agreement, RMBC supplies the firm’s bottle requirements and Owens-
Brockway has a contract to supply the majority of bottle requirements not met
by RMBC. RMMC is a joint venture with Ball Corporation in which Molson
Coors holds a 50% interest.
RMMC supplies the firm with substantially all of the cans for its Golden,
Colorado brewery. RMMC manufactures the can at the Molson Coors’ manu-
facturing facilities, which RMMC operates under a use and license agreement.
Grolsch is a joint venture between CBL and Royal Grolsch N.V. in which
Molson Coors holds a 49% interest. The Grolsch joint venture markets Grolsch
branded beer in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The majority
of the Grolsch branded beer is produced by CBL under a contract brewing ar-
rangement with the joint venture. CBL and Royal Grolsch N.V. sell beer to the
joint venture, which sells the beer back to CBL (for onward sale to customers)
for a price equal to what it paid plus a marketing and overhead charge and a
profit margin.

b. An investing firm consolidates the VIE when it absorbs the majority of the enti-
ty’s expected losses if they occur, receives a majority of the entity’s expected
residual returns if they occur, or both. The consolidating firm is labeled the pri-
mary beneficiary. The firm considers the rights and obligations conveyed by its
variable interests and the relationship of its variable interests to variable interest
held by other firms to determine whether it will absorb a majority of expected
losses, receive a majority of expected residual returns, or both. If one firm
absorbs a majority of the expected losses and another firm receives a majority
of the expected residual returns, the firm absorbing a majority of the losses con-
solidates the variable-interest entity.
c. Cost of goods sold for Molson Coors includes all costs that the firm incurred for
producing, bottling, and canning its beers. Although the firm performs most of
these services in-house, it does outsource some to the three consolidated VIEs.
However, the accounting that Molson Coors followed is not precise because the
amount credited to cost of goods sold for the VIEs is net of revenues and costs,
whereas the cost of goods sold incurred in-house only includes the costs of pro-
duction, bottling, and canning.
d. The parent does not always own 100% of the voting stock of a consolidated sub-
sidiary. Accountants refer to the owners of the remaining shares of voting stock
as the minority interest. These shareholders have a proportionate interest in the
net assets (total assets – total liabilities) of the subsidiary as shown in the subsid-
iary’s separate corporate records. The shareholders also have a proportionate in-
terest in the earnings of the subsidiary. The amount of the minority interest in the
subsidiary’s income results from multiplying the subsidiary’s net income by the
minority’s percentage of ownership. The consolidated income statement shows
the proportion of consolidated income applicable to the parent company (net in-
come before minority interest) and the proportion of the subsidiary’s income ap-
plicable to the minority interest (minority interest in earnings). Typically, the
minority interest in the subsidiary’s income appears as a subtraction in calculat-
ing consolidated net income.
e. If RMBC, RMMC, and Grolsch did not qualify as VIEs, GAAP would require
them to account for minority, active investments (generally those in which own-
ership is between 20% and 50%) using the equity method. Under the equity me-
thod, the firm owning shares in another firm recognizes as revenue (expense)
each period its share of the net income (loss) of the other firm. The line “Equity
Income from Affiliates” would include Molson Coors’ share of the earnings in
50%-owned affiliates. The firm would treat dividends received from the inves-
tee as a return of investment, not as income. The statement of cash flows would
report Equity Income from Affiliates as a deduction from operating cash flows,
net of any cash dividends received from the affiliates.

f. Molson Coors consolidated the financial statements of RMBC, RMMC, and
Grolsch with the financial statements of the parent. Thus, the depreciation re-
ported by the VIEs increased the parent’s depreciation by $13.1 million for 2004.

8.24 Calculating the Translation Adjustment under the All-Current Method and the
Monetary/Nonmonetary Method.
a. Net assets, January 1 ……………… FC 900 $10:1FC $ 9,000
Common stock issued ……………. 100 $10:1FC 1,000
Net income …………………………… 240 $8:1FC 1,920
Dividends …………………………….. (190) $6:1FC (1,140)
Net assets, Dec. 31 (in dollars) ………………………………………………. $ 10,780
Net assets, Dec. 31 (in FC) …….. FC 1,050 $6:1FC 6,300
Translation adjustment ………………………………………………………….. $ 4,480
The $4,480 translation adjustment decreases shareholders’ equity. The U.S. dol-
lar increased in value during the year. The firm is worse off having had its capi-
tal invested in the foreign currency instead of U.S. dollars.
b. Net Monetary asset (liability)

Net monetary asset (liability)
position, Dec. 31 (in FC) …….. FC (50) $6:1FC (300)
Foreign exchange loss …………………………………………………………… $ 180
The actual net liability at year-end is $300. If converted into U.S. dollars at the
time of the transaction, the liability would have been only $120. Thus, a foreign
exchange loss arises.

c. The all-current translation method assumes that the subsidiary’s net asset posi-
tion (assets minus liabilities) is at risk to exchange rate changes. The Canadian
dollar decreased in value relative to the U.S. dollar during Year 1. Maintaining
a net asset position in Canada during a period when the Canadian dollar de-
creased in value gives rise to a negative translation adjustment. The monetary/
nonmonetary translation method assumes that the subsidiary’s net monetary
position (monetary assets minus monetary liabilities) is at risk to exchange rate
changes. The subsidiary has no monetary assets or liabilities at the beginning of
the year but had a net monetary asset position at the end of the year. The net
monetary asset position coupled with a declining Canadian dollar gives rise to a
translation loss. The amounts for the negative translation adjustment and the
translation loss differ because the base for computing the loss differs (net assets
versus net monetary assets).
