INVESTMENT IN THE STOCK OF

ANOTHER COMPANY

Reporting investments is a continuum based on

some measure of influence over the investee:

We can own: 1 share 50% 100% of

shares

passive investor active investor

market equity consolidated value method financial

THE EQUITY METHOD

The “theory”.

THE EQUITY METHOD

On Jan. 2, 2011, Co. A acquires 25% of Co. B’s stock from B’s stockholders for $28,000 cash.

Assume the following is A’s balance sheet Assume the following values for B’s assets/liabilities

before acquiring B’s assets/liabilities:

THE EQUITY METHOD

What would appear in Co. A’s financial statements?

Then Co. A’s accountant would ask “Why did we pay so much?”

THE EQUITY METHOD

On 12/31/2011, Co. B reports $6,000 of net income and pays $1,500 in dividends.

What journal entries will Co. A make?

To answer this we need think about the Investment in Co. B account the way an accountant does.

8Investments

TWO COMMON WAYS TO OBTAIN CONTROL

Company A wants to expand – two common ways of doing that are:

(1) buying Company B’s assets and assuming its liabilities and

(2) buying enough stock in Company B (in the U.S. > 50% ownership). 9Investments

BUY B’S ASSETS/LIABILITIES

1. If Co. A buys Co. B’s assets and liabilities, this is what happens:

BUYING CO. B’s STOCK – A Consolidation Example

Co. A pays $135,000 to Co. B’s owners to buy 90% of Co. B’s stock; the fair value of the remaining 10% of Co. B’s stock is $12,000.Assume the following is A’s balance sheet Assume the following values for B’s assets/liabilities

This is what happened:

90% Co.

What will Co. A’s journal entry look like?



This is “after”:

Then A’s accountant asks a similar question:

“Why is Co. B valued so highly?”

The answer lies in a previous slide and our previous thought process,

but with a modification.18Consolidated Financial Statements


FASB (and International Accounting Standards) says that if one company controls another company the controlling company needs to do something more than use the equity method.



What we have:

Owners of A

F/S Co. A “Old” Owners of B

90% 10%

F/S Co. B



What FASB also wants:

Owners of A

F/S Co. A consolidated

F/S

F/S Co. B



What appears in the consolidated balance sheet are the assets and liabilities that Co. A controls, directly and indirectly (which would include Co. B’s assets and liabilities).



And the key is - the Investment in B Stock account on Co. A’s balance sheet really represents control of Co. B’s assets and liabilities



A’s balance sheet after the transaction:cash $ 65,000 liabilities 100,000acct. rec. 300,000 com. stock 300,000inventory 500,000 APIC 350,000Invest. in B stock 135,000 ret. earnings 855,000PPE 900,000 $1,605,000accum. deprec (300,000) cash 1,000

So, Co. A’s consolidated balance sheet “substitutes” the assets and liabilities Co. A controls when it bought Co. B’s stock.

BUYING CO. B’s STOCK – A Consolidated Income Statement

One year later, these were the income statements for A and B:

A B

Sales revenue $200,000 $70,000COGS ( 80,000) ( 36,000)Deprec. exp. ( 45,000) ( 5,500)Pat. amort. exp. ( 400) ( 200)Other exp. ( 14,600) ( 7,800)Net income $ 60,000 $20,500

and B paid $10,000 in cash dividends.

What entries would A’s accountant make (assuming A uses the equity method)?



A’s income statement that it would issue to thepublic (IF it issued a non-consolidated income statement):

Sales revenue $200,000COGS ( 80,000) Deprec. exp. ( 45,000)

Pat. amort. exp. ( 400)Other expenses ( 14,600)Equity income 15,030Net income $ 75,030



What would appear in A’s consolidated Income Statement:

Sales revenue $270,000COGS (119,000) Deprec. exp. ( 51,500)

Pat. amort. exp. ( 400) Other exp. ( 22,400)Equity income --Consol. net income $ 76,700

Net income to N.C.I ( 1,670)

Net income to Co. A $ 75,030


BUYING CO. B’s STOCK – An Example

Co. A’s accountant also must prepare a consolidated owners’ equity statement and a consol-idated cash flow statement.
