Answers to Questions
1 Parent-company theory is implemented under the assumptions that the consolidated statements will
benefit significantly for the parent stockholders and not the noncontrolling stockholders, hence it poses
problems in the case of less-than-100 percent-owned subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest is viewed as
liability under the parent-company theory and similarly, the noncontrolling interest share is viewed as an
expense.
2 Under the parent-company theory, goodwill is calculated based on the % of ownerships against its
underlying equity and under the entity theory goodwill is calculated based on a 100% of implied fair value
of ownership. This means the amount of goodwill will be different. For example, A purchased 80% of B
for $500,000 when Bs equity is at $400,000. Assuming there are no fair value to book value difference of
Bs net assets, goodwill is calculated as follows:
Parent-company theory
Goodwill = $500,000 (80% * $400,000) = $180,000
Entity theory
Goodwill = ($500,000 / 80%) - $400,000 = $225,000
3 There are three similar relationships under the three different theories:
a. If book value of net assets is equal to the fair value, and investments is made at book value,
then the income statement amounts should be the same under the entity theory as under the
traditional theory.
b. The income statement amounts should also be the same under parent-company theory as
under traditional theory if no intercompany transactions occur.
c. If the ownerships is at 100%, the income statement amounts for all three theories should be
the same.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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 investor-
venturers 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.

Solution E11-12
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.
