E6.1
Intercompany Land Transactions
a.
Consolidation Working Paper
2010
Gain on sale of land
50,000
Land
50,000
To eliminate the unconfirmed gain on the intercompany sale of land and reduce the land account
to original acquisition cost.
2011
Investment in Sagamore
50,000
Land
50,000

the retained earnings of Sagamore and reduce the land account to original acquisition cost.
b.
2012
Investment in Sagamore
50,000
Gain on sale of land
50,000
To include the prior year intercompany gain, now confirmed, in current year income and restate
the investment account by offsetting the previous reduction while the gain was unconfirmed.
E6.2

E6.3
Intercompany Merchandise Transactions

Retained earnings, Converse -1/1
10,000
Investment in Converse
18,000
Cost of goods sold
28,000
To eliminate the intercompany profit on upstream intercompany sales, assumed confirmed during
2011, from the beginning inventory. Prior year profits on upstream sales are removed from
Converses beginning retained earnings; $10,000 = $50,000 x 20%. Prior year profits on
downstream sales are added to Nikes Investment in Converse as they had been removed from
the Investment account via the 2011 equity accrual; $18,000 = $78,000 - 78,000/1.3.
Sales
840,000
Cost of goods sold

To eliminate intercompany merchandise sales made during 2011.
Cost of goods sold
840,000
29,000
Inventory
29,000
To eliminate unconfirmed intercompany profit from ending inventory; $29,000 = ($40,000 x
20% = $8,000) + [91,000 - (91,000/1.3) = $21,000].
E6.4
Analysis of Land Sale Alternatives
Under a direct sale of the land by Sawyer to the developer, Sawyer reports a gain of $3,900,000.
The noncontrolling interest in net income is $780,000 (= .2 x $3,900,000) and the distribution to
the noncontrolling shareholder is $390,000 (= .5 x $780,000).
Under the intercompany sale, even though the gain is larger, it is eliminated in consolidation, and
does not enter into the noncontrolling interest in net income. As long as the parent holds the land
(which it plans to do under a long-term lease), the gain is not reflected in noncontrolling interest
in net income. Moreover, the income from the lease is the parents income, so the noncontrolling
interest is unaffected. Under this approach, the noncontrolling stockholder receives nothing.
Hence, the direct sale of the land by Sawyer to the developer generates the most dividends for
the noncontrolling stockholder.

E6.11 Ratio Analysis of Enron-Type Intercompany Transactions

(all dollar amounts in millions)
a.
1.
ROA = ($9,000 - $8,000 + $500)/($10,000 + $500) = $1,500/$10,500 = .143

ROS = $1,500/($9,000 + $3,000) = $1,500/$12,000 = .125
2.
ROA = ($9,000+$2,000-$8,000-$1,900)/($10,000+$4,000)
= $1,100/$14,000 = .079
ROS = $1,100/($9,000 +$2,000) = .10
Consolidation (2) eliminates the intercompany revenue and the unconfirmed

intercompany gain, voiding the internal transaction for financial reporting purposes.
Ratios look better when the transaction with the SPE is considered to be arms length and
consolidation is avoided (1).
b.
1.
TL/TA = $6,000/($10,000 + $3,500) = $6,000/$13,500 = .444
2.
TL/TA = ($6,000 + $3,600 + $3,500)/($10,000 + $4,000 + $3,500)

= $13,100/$17,500 = .749
Without consolidation (1) Sponsor recognizes the $3,500 cash but not the liability, but in
consolidation (2) the liability is also counted along with Sponsorees assets and liabilities.
Sponsoree is more leveraged than Sponsor; Sponsorees separate TL/TA = $3,600/$4.000
= .9, while Sponsors separate TL/TA = $6,000/$10,000 = .6. Therefore consolidating
Sponsoree causes consolidated TL/TA to be higher than Sponsors separate TL/TA.

141
c.
1.
ROA = [$9,000 - $8,000 + .25 ($4,300 - $3,500)]/($10,000 + $3,500)

= $1,200/$13,500 = .089
2.
ROA = ($9,000 + $2,000 $8,000 $1,900)/($10,000 + $4,000 + $3,500)

= $1,100/$17,500 = .063
Enron apparently used this technique to recognize gains on its own stock as income,
something not permitted by GAAP. Without consolidation (1), Sponsors income
includes 25% of the gain on its stock recognized in Sponsorees income and booked by
Sponsor via the equity method. With consolidation (2) the stock issuance is voided and
neither entity recognizes income on the appreciation of Sponsors stock.

which had not been confirmed through depreciation as of the beginning of the year. This
remaining portion, which would have reduced depreciation over the next six years (including
2012), has now been fully confirmed by an external sale in 2012.
NOTE: If there is a noncontrolling interest in Smart, it shares in this $30,000 gain but not in the
gain of $280,000 recorded by Pert on the external sale; $280,000 = $400,000 [$200,000 4 x

Check: Consolidated net income to the controlling interest must equal Portlands reported net
income, including the equity income accrual. $15,478,000 = $10,000,000 + $5,478,000.
NOTE ON THE PATENT: The patent acquired internally from Salem had a net book value of
$200,000 [= $500,000 - (3/5) X 500,000] when sold by Portland for $420,000. The $220,000 (=
$420,000 - 200,000) external gain reported in other income is fully confirmed and does not affect
the consolidation. This years $50,000 (= $250,000/5) excess amortization is eliminated
increasing incomebecause the patent was held internally for the entire year. Moreover, the
remaining $100,000 upstream intercompany gain is now fully confirmed by the external sale and
is added to this years income. The $100,000 is the original $250,000 intercompany gain
reduced by three years of excess amortization at $50,000 a year.

P6.12 Evaluation of Eliminations Disclosures
a.
Machinery & Engines is the parent company. Its records show an Investment in Financial
Products account. We also observe that the income and stockholders equity of Machinery &
Engines equal the consolidated amounts, a characteristic that is true of parent companies of
wholly-owned subsidiaries that use the complete equity method on their own books.
b.
The fact that no goodwill arises in the consolidation of Machinery & Engines with Financial
Products suggests that Financial Products was formed as a subsidiary company by Machinery &
Engines, rather than acquired in a business combination. Goodwill arises when the acquisition
cost exceeds the fair value of the subsidiarys identifiable net assets. When a parent company
forms a subsidiary, there is no goodwill.
Another possible explanation is that the excess of acquisition cost over the acquisition-date fair
value of identifiable net assets acquired is fully explained by revaluations of identifiable net
assets.
A third explanation is that the acquired goodwill has been completely written off as impairment
loss (or amortization prior to 2002) in previous years.
c.
The goodwill on the books of Machinery & Engines suggests that Machinery & Engines
acquired other companies in the past, and merged them into the parent. Because the other
companies are no longer separate legal entities, Machinery & Engines reports their assets and
liabilities directly on its own books, as discussed in Chapter 2 of this text.
d.
Financial Products earned $400 million in revenue from Machinery & Engines; there was no
intercompany revenue in the other direction.
