Assume that a parent company owns 80 percent of its subsidiary. The parent company uses the equity method to account for its investment in subsidiary. On January 1, 2012, the parent company issued to an unaffiliated company $1,000,000 (face value) 10 year, 10 percent bond payable for a $61,000 premium. The bonds pay interest in December 31 of each year. On January 1, 2015, the subsidiary acquired 40 percent of the bonds for $386,000. Both companies use straight-line amortization.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, what is the consolidation entry adjustment?
*Every amount pertains to $
Step: 1. Cash 1061000 a/c dr. (Including premium)
To premium on bonds payable a/c 61000
To bonds payable(parent's bonds a/c 1000000
2. Investment in parent bonds a/c dr. 386000
To discount on bond investment a/c 14000
To cash (subsidiary company) 400000 ( 40% of parent's bonds face value)
Step 2: Parent's bonds issue
1) total premium of issue = 61000
annual amortization = 6100 (61000/10 years)
2) amortization recognized = 30500 ( 1-1-2012 to 31-12-2016 = 5 years)
un amortized portion = 30500 (61000 - 30500)
un amortized portion of subsidiary company = 12200 ( 40% of 30500)
Step 3: Subsidiary's bond purchase
1) total discount at purchase = 14000
annual amortization = 2800 (14000 / 5 years)
2) amortization recognized = 2800 ( 2800 * 12 /12 )
1) - 2) un amortized portion = 11200 (14000 - 2800)
Step 4: Consolidated entry adjustments
