CONSOLIDATION THEORIES, PUSH-DOWN ACCOUNTING, AND


CORPORATE JOINT VENTURES
Answers to Questions
1

Parent company theory views consolidated financial statements from the viewpoint of the parent and
entity theory views consolidated financial statements from the viewpoint of the business entity under
which all resources are controlled by a single management team. By contrast, traditional theory sometimes
reflects the parent viewpoint and at other times it reflects the viewpoint of the business entity. A detailed
comparison of these theories is presented in Exhibit 111 of the text.

Only contemporary theory is changed by current pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board. While such pronouncements can and do change the current accounting and reporting practices,
they do not change the logic or the consistency of either parent company or entity theory.

The valuation of subsidiary assets on the basis of the price paid for the controlling interest seems justified
conceptually when substantially all of the subsidiary stock is acquired by the parent. But the conceptual
support for this approach is less when only a slim majority of subsidiary stock is acquired. In addition, the
valuation of the noncontrolling interest based on the price paid by the parent has practical limitations
because noncontrolling interest does not represent equity ownership in the usual sense. The ability of
noncontrolling stockholders to participate in management is limited and noncontrolling shares do not
possess the usual marketability of equity securities.

Consolidated assets are equal to their fair values under entity theory only when the book values of parent
assets are equal to their fair values. Otherwise, consolidated assets are not equal to their fair values under
either parent company or entity theories.

The valuation of the noncontrolling interest at book value might overstate the equity of noncontrolling
shareholders because of the limited marketability of shares held by noncontrolling stockholders and
because of the limited ability of noncontrolling stockholders to share in management through their voting
rights. Valuation of the noncontrolling interest at book value also overstates or understates the
noncontrolling interest unless the subsidiary assets are recorded at fair values.

Consolidated net income under parent company theory and income to the controlling stockholders under
entity theory should be the same. This is illustrated in Exhibit 115, which shows different income
statement amounts for cost of sales, operating expenses, and income allocated to noncontrolling
stockholders, but the same income to controlling stockholders. Note that consolidated net income under
parent company and traditional theories reflects income to controlling stockholders.

Income to the parent stockholders under the equity method of accounting is the same as income to the
controlling stockholders under entity theory. But income to controlling stockholders is not identified as
consolidated net income as it would be under parent company or traditional theories.

Consolidated income statement amounts under entity theory are the same as under traditional theory when
subsidiary investments are made at book value because traditional theory follows entity theory in
eliminating the effects of intercompany transactions from consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation Theories, Push-down Accounting, and Corporate Joint Ventures

Traditional theory corresponds to entity theory in matters relating to unrealized and constructive gains
and losses from intercompany transactions. In other words, unrealized and constructive gains and losses
are allocated between controlling and noncontrolling interests in the same manner under these two
theories.

10

Push-down accounting simplifies the consolidation process. The push-down adjustments are recorded in
the subsidiarys separate books at the time of the business combination; thus, it is not necessary to allocate
the unamortized fair values in the consolidation working papers.

11

A joint venture is an entity that is owned, operated, and jointly controlled by a small group of investorventurers to operate a business for the mutual benefit of the venturers. Some joint ventures are organized
as corporations, while others are organized as partnerships or undivided interests. Each venturer typically
participates in important decisions of a joint venture irrespective of ownership percentage.

12

Investors in corporate joint ventures use the equity method of accounting and reporting for their
investment earnings and investment balances as required by GAAP. The cost method would be used only
if the investor could not exercise significant influence over the corporate joint venture. Alternatively,
investors in unincorporated joint ventures use the equity method of accounting and reporting or
proportional consolidation for undivided interests specified as a special industry practice.

As primary beneficiary, Pal must include Pot in its consolidated
financial staements. Additionally, Pal must make the following disclosures:
(a) the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the variable interest
entity, (b) the carrying amount and classification of consolidated assets
that are collateral for the variable interest entitys obligations, and (c)
lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of a
consolidated variable interest entity have no recourse to the general credit
of the primary beneficiary.
Den will not consolidate Pot, since they are not the primary beneficiary. As
in traditional consolidations, only one firm consolidates a subsidiary.
However, since Den has a significant interest in Pot, they must disclose: (a)
the nature of its involvement with the variable interest entity and when that
involvement began, (b) the nature, purpose, size, and activities of the
variable interest entity, and (c) the enterprises maximum exposure to loss
as a result of its involvement with the variable interest entity. Den
accounts for the investment using the equity method.

According to GAAP, if an enterprise absorbs a majority of a variable
interest entitys expected losses and another receives a majority of expected
residual returns, the enterprise absorbing the losses is the primary
beneficiary and if condition one is also met. Laura meets condition one,
since as CEO, she had the power over economic decisions. Laura must
consolidate the variable interest entity. The contractual arrangement makes
Laura the primary beneficiary.

P carries its investment in S on a cost basis. This is evidenced by the


appearance of dividend revenue in P Companys income statement and by
the absence of income from subsidiary.

P holds 1,400 shares of S. P Companys percentage ownership is 70%, as


determined by the relationship of P Companys dividend revenues and S
Companys dividends paid ($11,200/$16,000). S has 2,000 outstanding
shares ($200,000/$100) and P holds 70% of these, or 1,400 shares.

S Companys retained earnings at acquisition were $100,000.
