a. Compute the EOY noncontrolling interest equity balance
b. Prepare the consolidation journal entries.

Answer 1

Answer (a) EOY noncontrolling interest equity balance:

Stockholder's equity = $144180 ($404400+$75300+$241200)*20%

Deferred gain = $1000 ($5000*20%)

BOY Unamortized 20% AAP = $39900 ($240000-3*$13500) * 20%

NCI Income net of amortized of AAP = $12300 ($75000-$13500) *20%

Dividends = $1780 ($8900*20%)

EOY Noncontrolling Interest balance = $193600 ($144180-$1000+$39900+$12300-$1780)

Consolidation Journal Entries:

1- To Eliminate the change in the investment account of AAP adjusted changes in SE(S).

Dr. Income (loss) from subsdiary $49200

Dr. Consol. NI attributable toNCI $12300

Cr. Dividends $8900

Cr. Equity Investment $42080

Cr. Non controlling interest $10520

2- To Eliminate beginning balance in SE(S) by eliminating the BV portion of the beginning investment account.

Dr. Common Stock(S) BOY $75300

Dr. APIC (S) BOY $241200

Dr. Retained Earning(S) BOY $404400

Cr. Equity Investment BOY $576720

Cr. Non controlling interst BOY $144180

3- To Allocate beginning of year 100% AAP to the controlling and noncontrolling interests by eliminating the remaining investment account and establishing the BOY AAP for nci%.

Dr. PPE, net - @BOY (100% AAP) $72,000

Dr. Patent, net @BOY (100% AAP) $127500

Cr. Equity investment - @BOY ( AAP) $159600

Cr. Non Controlling Interest $39900

There are some entries more to do complete consolidation statement that eliminates the intertransactions between the Fuller (parent company) and Wilson (subsdiary) like upstream sales adjustment profit arising from the sale, common stock adjustments etc.
