Solution Summary
This solution is comprised of a detailed step-by-step explanation of three advanced accounting concepts: elimination of unrealized profit on intercompany sales of inventory, elimination of unrealized gains or losses on intercompany sales of property and equipment, and changes in ownership interest.
The first problem illustrates how to determine the amount of intercompany profit, if any, to be eliminated from the consolidated statements. It also helps to understand the concept of eliminating 100% of intercompany profit not realized in transactions with outsiders, and know the authoritative position.
The second problem shows how to compare the eliminating entries when the selling affiliate is a subsidiary versus when the selling affiliate is the parent company. It illustrates how to compute the noncontrolling interest in consolidated net income when the selling affiliate is a subsidiary. In addition, it shows how to compute consolidated net income considering the effects of intercompany sales of depreciable assets.
The third problem demonstrates the process needed when the parent acquires subsidiary shares through multiple open market purchases.
This solution includes definitions and attached MS Word documents include journal entries, schedules, financial statements, and required calculations.

As a result, the recognition of income or loss on the intercompany transaction, including its allocation between the non-controlling and controlling interests, is deferred until the profit or loss is confirmed by sales of the merchandise to non-affiliates.
In order to concentrate on intercompany profit eliminations and adjustments, reporting complications relating to accounting for the difference between implied and book value are avoided in all illustrations by assuming that all acquisitions are made at the book value of the acquired interest in net assets and that the book value of the subsidiary company's net assets equals their fair value on the date the parent company's interest is acquired. It is also assumed that the affiliates file consolidated income tax returns. If the affiliates file separate tax returns, deferred tax ...
