CHAPTER 3
UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES
1. (a) Subsidiary Income = $40,000.
Investment in Subsidiary ($500,000 +
Investment in Subsidiary ($500,000 +
$33,000 – $5,000) = $528,000.
(c) Subsidiary Income = $0.
2. Date alignment means adjusting the in-
vestment account to reflect the same date
as the subsidiary equity accounts so that
their balances reflect the same point in
time.
(a) Simple equity method—The subsidi–
ary’s equity accounts reflect beginning–
of-year balances, yet the investment
account reflects an end-of-year bal-
ance. During the consolidation process,
(b) Sophisticated equity method—The
subsidiary’s equity accounts reflect
beginning-of-year balances, yet the in-
vestment account reflects an end-of-
year balance. During the consolidation
(c) Cost method—The subsidiary’s equity
accounts reflect beginning-of-year
balances, yet the investment account
reflects the balance on the date of
3. The noncontrolling share of consolidated
net income is the outside ownership share
of the subsidiary’s internally generated in-

Amortization of excess for
2015 ($100,000 ÷ 10 ×

Consolidated net income ….. $165,000
(b) NCI share of net income = 1/2 ×
($60,000 – $10,000) × 20% = $5,000.
5. In 2015, consolidated net income would be
by $12,000 [($160,000 – $100,000) ÷ 5
years]. In 2016, consolidated net income
would be reduced by $12,000 as a result of

crease depreciation expense by $12,000

generated income. The NCI is shown, in
total, as a subdivision of equity on the con-
solidated balance sheet.
7. Consolidated net income could exceed the
The amortization of this markdown would
decrease expense; therefore, consolidated
net income is increased.
