Consolidation procedures for a pooling• Recall that investment was recorded at amount
equal to book value. If this was not the case, correct the investment account.
• Cost or equity method may be used (sophisticated equity has no application - no excess)
• There should not be any excess to distribute or amortize - it was just like a purchase at a price equal to underlying subsidiary book value!
