5. For income, ending retained earnings and
all subtotals and totals:
 Compute directly in consolidated column.

Note:
 The total consolidated assets should equal the
total consolidated liabilities and equity.
 Expenses on the income statement and dividends
on the statement of retained earnings are generally
shown as negative numbers. So compute the
consolidated amounts as you would for revenues.

Pep pays $88 for 80% of Sap on 1/1/2011 when
Sap's equity consisted of $60 capital stock
and $30 retained earnings. All excess was due
to unrecorded patents with a 10-year life.

Sap's income and dividends follow:

Eliminating Investment in Sap
Entry 5 eliminates the Investment in Sap and
establishes the Noncontrolling Interest as of the
beginning of the current year.
Implied value of Sap at acquisition $88/.80 $110
Add the increase in retained earnings from 10
acquisition to the beginning of the current year
$40 at 1/1/2012 minus $30 at 1/1/2011
Less amortization for all prior periods (2)
$2 patent amortization for 2011
Adjusted value of Sap at 1/1/2012 $118
 Investment in Sap (80% x $118) = $94.4
 Noncontrolling interest (20% x $118) = $23.6
 Verify the $118 from the debits in Entry 5 (60 + 40 + 18).

Example with Excess Allocated
Pat pays $360 for 90% of Sol on 12/31/2011 when
Sol's equity consisted of $200 capital stock and
$50 retained earnings. Inventory (sold in 2011),
land, and buildings (20 years) were undervalued
by $10, $30, and $80, respectively. Equipment (10
years) was overvalued by $20.
Sol's income and dividends for 2012 were $60 and
$20.
At year-end, Sol has dividends payable of $10
which Pat has not yet recorded. There is $20 cash
