CHAPTER 6
INTERCOMPANY DEBT, CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF
CASH FLOWS AND OTHER ISSUES
Chapter Outline
I. Variable interest entities (VIEs)
A. VIEs typically take the form of a trust, partnership, joint venture, or corporation. In most
cases a sponsoring firm creates these entities to engage in a limited and well-defined set
of business activities. For example, a business may create a VIE to finance the acquisition
of a large asset. The VIE purchases the asset using debt and equity financing, and then
leases the asset back to the sponsoring firm. If their activities are strictly limited and the
asset is pledged as collateral, VIEs are often viewed by lenders as less risky than their
sponsoring firms. As a result, such arrangements can allow financing at lower interest
rates than would otherwise be available to the sponsor.
B. Control of VIEs, by design, often does not rest with its equity holders. Instead, control is
exercised through contractual arrangements with the sponsoring firm who becomes the
"primary beneficiary" of the entity. These contracts can take the form of leases,
participation rights, guarantees, or other residual interests. Through contracting, the
primary beneficiary bears a majority of the risks and receives a majority of the rewards of
the entity, often without owning any voting shares.
C. An entity whose control rests a primary beneficiary is referred to by FASB Interpretation
46R "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," (FIN 46R) as a variable interest entity.
The following characteristics indicate a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity.
1. The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity's activities
2. The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur,
or
3. The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur
The primary beneficiary bears the risks and receives the rewards of a variable interest
entity and is considered to have a controlling financial interest.
D. FIN 46R reasons that if a "business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity, assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest
entity should be included with those of the business enterprise." Therefore, primary
beneficiaries must include their variable interest entities in their consolidated financial
statements consistent with the provisions of SFAS 141R.
income expense balances are identical and can be directly offset in the consolidation
process.
B. The acquisition of an affiliate's debt instrument from an outside party does require special
handling so that consolidated financial statements can be produced.
1. Because the acquisition price will usually differ from the book value of the liability, a
gain or loss has been created which is not recorded within the individual records of
either company.
2. Because of the amortization of any associated discounts and/or premiums, the interest
income being reported by the buyer will not correspond with the interest expense of
the debtor.
C. In the year of acquisition, all intercompany accounts (the liability, the receivable, interest
income, and interest expense) are eliminated within the consolidation process while the
gain or loss (which produced all of the discrepancies because of the initial difference) is
recognized.
1. Although several alternatives exist, this textbook assigns all income effects resulting
from the retirement to the parent company, the party ultimately responsible for the
decision to reacquire the debt.
2. Any noncontrolling interest is, therefore, not affected by the adjustments utilized to
consolidate intercompany debt.
D. Even after the year of retirement, all intercompany accounts must be eliminated again in
each subsequent consolidation; however, the beginning retained earnings of the parent
company is adjusted rather than a gain or loss account.
1. The change in retained earnings is needed because a gain or loss was created in a
prior year by the retirement of the debt, but only interest income and interest expense
were recognized by the two parties.
2. The amount of the change made to retained earnings at any point in time is the original
gain or loss adjusted for the subsequent amortization of discounts or premiums.
Learning Objectives
Having completed Chapter 6, students should have fulfilled each of the following learning
objectives:
1. Describe a variable interest entity and primary beneficiary. Also should know when a variable
interest entity is subject to consolidation.
2. Eliminate all intercompany debt accounts and recognize any associated gain or loss created
whenever one company acquires an affiliate's debt instrument from an outside party.
3. Recognize that intercompany debt transactions require a constantly changing consolidation
entry to be prepared for each subsequent period until the debt is formally retired.
4. Compute the appropriate amounts and make the worksheet entry needed in each subsequent
consolidation when one company has purchased the debt of an affiliate directly from an
outside parry.
5. Discuss the various theories as to the appropriate allocation of any income effect created by
intercompany debt transactions and identify the assignment employed in this textbook (and
the rationale for its use).
6. Understand that subsidiary preferred stocks not owned by the parent are initially valued in
consolidated financial reports as noncontrolling interest at acquisition-date fair value.
7. Prepare a consolidated statement of cash flows.
8. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for a business combination in which the
subsidiary has dilutive convertible securities.
9. Identify subsidiary stock transactions that can impact the underlying book value figure
recorded within the parent's Investment account.
10. Calculate the effect that a subsidiary stock transaction has on the parent's investment balance
and make the required journal entry to record that impact.
This case is designed to give life to a theoretical accounting issue discussed within the chapter: If
a subsidiary's debt is retired, should the resulting gain or loss be assigned to the parent or to the
subsidiary? The case attempts to illustrate that no clear-cut solution to this question can be found.
This lack of an absolute answer makes financial accounting both intriguing and frustrating.
Interesting class discussion can be generated from this issue.
Students should note that the decision as to assignment only becomes necessary because of the
presence of the noncontrolling interest. Regardless of the level of ownership all intercompany
balances are simply eliminated on the worksheet with the gain or loss being recognized. Not until
the time that the noncontrolling interest computations are made does the identity of the specific
party become important.
All financial and operating decisions are assumed to be made in the best interest of the business
entity as a whole. This debt would not have been retired unless corporate officials believed that
Penston/Swansan would benefit from the decision. Thus, a strong argument can be made against
any assignment to either separate party.
Students should be required to pick one method and justify its use. Discussion usually centers
on the following issues:
Parent company officials made the actual choice that created the loss. Therefore, assigning
the $300,000 to the subsidiary directs the impact of their reasoned decision to the wrong
party. In effect, the subsidiary had nothing to do with this transaction (as indicated in the case)
so that its financial records should not be affected by the $300,000 loss.
The debt was that of the subsidiary. Because the subsidiary's debt is being retired, all of the
$300,000 should be attributed to that party. Financial records measure the results of
transactions and the retirement simply culminates an earlier transaction made by the
subsidiary. The parent is doing no more than acting as an agent for the subsidiary (as
indicated in the case). If the subsidiary had acquired its own debt, for example, no question as
to the assignment would have existed. Thus, changing that assignment simply because the
parent was forced to be the acquirer is not justified.
Both parties were involved in the transaction so that some allocation of the loss is required. If,
at the time of repurchase, a discount existed within the subsidiary's accounts, this figure would
have been amortized to interest expense (if the debt had not been retired). Thus, the
$300,000 loss was accepted now in place of the later amortization. This reasoning then
assigns this portion of the loss to the subsidiary. Because the parent was forced to pay more
than face value, that remaining portion is assigned to the buyer.
Answers to Questions
1. A variable interest entity (VIE) is a business structure that is designed to accomplish a specific
purpose. A VIE can take the form of a trust, partnership, joint venture, or corporation although
typically it has neither independent management nor employees. The entity is frequently
sponsored by another firm to achieve favorable financing rates.
2. Variable interests are contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in an entity that
change with changes in the entity's net asset value. Variable interests will absorb portions of a
variable interest entity's expected losses if they occur or receive portions of the entity's
expected residual returns if they occur. Variable interests typically are accompanied by
contractual arrangements that provide decision making power to the owner of the variable
interests. Examples of variable interests include debt guarantees, lease residual value
guarantees, participation rights, and other financial interests.
The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity's activities
The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, or
The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur
4. Because the bonds were purchased from an outside party, the acquisition price is likely to
differ from the book value of the debt as found on the subsidiary's records. This difference
creates accounting problems in handling the intercompany transaction. From a consolidated
perspective, the debt has been retired; a gain or loss should be reported with no further
interest being recorded. In reality, each company will continue to maintain these bonds on
their individual financial records. Also, because discounts and/or premiums are likely to be
present, both of these account balances as well as the interest income/expense will change
from period to period because of amortization. For reporting purposes, all individual accounts
must be eliminated with the gain or loss being reported so that the events are shown from the
vantage point of the consolidated entity.
5. If the bonds are acquired directly from the affiliate company, all reciprocal accounts will be
equal in amount. The debt and the receivable will be in agreement so that no gain or loss is
created. Interest income and interest expense should also reflect identical amounts.
Therefore, the consolidation process for this type of intercompany debt requires no more than
the offsetting of the various reciprocal balances.
6. The gain or loss to be reported is the difference between the price paid and the book value of
the debt on the date of acquisition. For consolidation purposes, this gain or loss should be
recognized immediately on the date of acquisition.
7. Because the bonds are still legally outstanding, they will continue to be found on both sets of
financial records. Thus, each account (Bonds Payable, Investment in Bonds, Interest
Expense, and Interest Income) must be eliminated within the consolidation process. Any gain
or loss on the retirement as well as later effects on interest caused by amortization are also
included to arrive at an adjustment to the beginning retained earnings of the parent company.
8. The original gain is never recognized within the financial records of either company. Thus,
within the consolidation process for the year of acquisition, the gain is directly recorded
whereas (for each subsequent year) it is entered as an adjustment to beginning retained
earnings. In addition, because the book value of the debt and the investment are not in
agreement, the interest expense and interest income balances being recorded by the two
companies will differ each year because of the amortization process. This amortization
effectively reduces the difference between the individual retained earnings balances and the
total that is appropriate for the consolidated entity. Consequently, a smaller change is needed
each period to arrive at the balance to be reported. For this reason, the annual adjustment to
beginning retained earnings gradually decreases over the life of the bond.
9. No set rule exists for assigning the income effects that result from intercompany debt
transactions although several different theories have been put forth over the years which
include: (1) assignment of the entire amount to the debtor, (2) assignment of the entire
amount to the buyer, and (3) allocation of the gain or loss between the two parties in some
manner. This textbook attributes the entire income effect (the $45,000 gain in this case) to the
parent company. Assignment to the parent is justified because that party is ultimately
responsible for the decision being made to retire the debt. The answer to the discussion
question included in this chapter analyzes this question in more detail.
10. Subsidiary outstanding preferred shares are part of the noncontrolling interest and are
included in the consolidated financial statements at acquisition-date fair value and
subsequently adjusted for their share of subsidiary income and dividends.
11. The consolidated statement of cash flows is developed from the information found in the
consolidated balance sheet and income statement. Thus, the cash flows generated by
operating, investing, and financing activities are identified only after the consolidation of these
other statements.
12. The noncontrolling interest share of the subsidiarys income is a component of consolidated
net income. Consolidated net income then is adjusted for noncash and other items to arrive at
consolidated cash flows from operations. Any dividends paid by the subsidiary to these
outside owners are listed as a financing activity of the business combination because an
actual cash outflow is created.
13. An alternative to the normal diluted earnings per share calculation is required whenever the
subsidiary has dilutive convertible securities such as bonds or warrants. In this case, the
potential impact of the conversion of subsidiary shares must be factored into the overall
diluted earnings per share computation.
14. Basic Earnings per Share. The existence of subsidiary convertible securities does not affect
consolidated basic EPS. Consolidated basic earnings per share is computed by dividing
consolidated net income by the weighted average number of parent shares outstanding.
Diluted Earnings per Share. The subsidiary's diluted earnings per share is computed by
including both convertible items. The portion of the parent's controlled shares to the total
shares used in this calculation is then determined. Only this percentage (of the income figure
used in the subsidiary's computation) is added to the parent's income in arriving at the diluted
earnings per share for the business combination.
15. Several reasons could exist for a subsidiary to issue new shares of stock to outside parties.
Clearly, additional financing is brought into the company by any such sale. Also, stock
issuance may be used to entice new individuals to join the organization. Additional
management personnel, as an example, might be attracted to the company in this manner.
The company could also be forced to sell shares because of government regulation. Many
countries require some degree of local ownership as a prerequisite for operating within that
country.
16. Because the new stock was issued at a price above book value, the book value per share of
Metcalf's stock has been increased. Consequently, the book value of Washburn's investment
should be increased to reflect this change. To measure the effect, the underlying book value
of Washburn's investment is calculated both before and after the new issuance. Because the
increment is the result of a stock transaction, an increase is made to additional paid-in capital
although recording a gain or loss is currently allowed. Although the subsidiary's shares (both
new and old) are eliminated in the consolidation process, the increase in the parent's APIC (or
gain or loss) does carry into the consolidated figures. In addition, the percentage of the
subsidiary attributed to the noncontrolling interest will have increased.
17. A stock dividend does not alter the book value of the subsidiary company and, thus, creates
no effect on Washburn's investment account or on the consolidated figures. Hence, no entry
is recorded at all by the parent company in connection with the subsidiary's stock dividend.

14. A For 2010, the adjustment to beginning retained earnings should recognize
the gain on the retirement of the debt, the elimination of the 2009 interest
expense, and the elimination of the 2009 interest income.
19. A Because the parent acquired 80 percent of the new shares, its proportion of
ownership has remained the same. Because the purchase price will
necessarily equal 80 percent of the increase in the subsidiary's book value,
no separate adjustment by the parent is required.
Because (1) HCO Medias losses are limited by contract, and (2) Hillsborough
has the right to receive the residual benefits of the sales generated on the
HCO Media internet site above $500,000, Hillsborough should consolidate
HCO Media.
23. continued
3. The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity (e.g.,
the investors' return may be capped by the entity's governing
documents or other arrangements with variable interest holders).
Consolidation is required if a parent has a variable interest that will
Absorb a majority of the entity's expected losses if they occur
Receive a majority of the entity's expected residual returns if they occur
Also, a direct or indirect ability to make decisions that significantly affect the
results of the activities of a variable interest entity is a strong indication that
an enterprise has one or both of the characteristics that would require
consolidation of the variable interest entity.
c. Risks of the construction project that has TecPC has effectively shifted to
the owners of the VIE
At the end of the 1st five-year lease term, if the parent opts to sell the
facility, and the proceeds are insufficient to repay the VIE investors,
TecPC may be required to pay up to 85% of the project's cost. Thus, a
potential 15% risk.
During construction 11.1% of project cost potential termination loss.
Risks that remain with TecPC
Guarantees of return to VIE investors at market rate, if facility does not
perform as expected TecPC is still obligated to pay market rates.
If lease is not renewed, TecPC must either purchase the facility or sell it
on behalf of the VIE with a guarantee of Investors' (debt and equity)
balances representing a risk of decline in market value of asset

Sale of building. The $44,000 in cash received from the sale is listed as a
cash inflow within the company's investing activities. If the company is
using the direct approach in presenting cash flows from operations, the
$12,000 gain is merely omitted. However, if the indirect approach is in use,
the gain (a positive) must be eliminated from net income by a subtraction.
Intercompany inventory transfers. Because these transactions do not occur
with any parties outside of the business combination, they are not reflected
in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Dividend paid by the subsidiary. The $27,000 payment to the parent is
eliminated in consolidated statements and is not a cash outflow from the
consolidated entity. The remaining $3,000 payment to the noncontrolling
interest is reported as a cash outflow from a financing activity.
Amortization of intangible asset. This $16,000 noncash expense appears in
the consolidated income statement. If the combined companies are using the
direct approach to present cash flows from operations, this expense is
omitted. If the indirect approach is used, the expense must be removed from
consolidated net income by an addition.
Decrease in accounts payable. Cash payments have been used to reduce
this liability balance during the period. If the direct approach is used to
present cash flows from operations, the change is added to cost of goods
sold as one step in deriving the cash paid during the period for inventory (an
outflow). If the indirect approach is applied, the decrease is subtracted from
net income in arriving at the net cash generated from operations during the

38. (8 Minutes) (Effect of subsidiary stock issuance to public at a price above book
value per share)
The assumption will be made here that subsidiary stock transactions will affect
the parent's capital accounts rather than being reflected as either a gain or loss.
a. Prior to the issuance of the new shares, Davis owns an 80% interest in Maxwell
(16,000 shares out of 20,000 shares). The underlying book value of this
investment is $640,000 ($800,000 x 80%). Subsequent to the issuance, total book
value of the subsidiary will have risen by $250,000 (the price of the stock) to
$1,050,000. Davis' ownership, however, will only be 64% (16,000 25,000). The
book value underlying Davis' investment is now $672,000 (64% of $1,050,000) so
that a $32,000 increase must be recorded by the parent.

Investment in Maxwell ............................................. 32,000
Additional Paid-in Capital ................................... 32,000
b. The book value underlying Davis' investment is $640,000 (see above) prior to
the issuance of the new shares. The 4,000 additional shares increase
subsidiary's total book value by $100,000 (the price of the stock) to $900,000.
Davis' ownership will have decreased to 2/3 (16,000 shares out of a total of
24,000) for a book value equivalency of just $600,000. Reducing the $640,000
(see a) to $600,000 requires a $40,000 decrease.

40. (45 Minutes) (Prepare consolidation entries following the subsidiary's issuance
of shares to outside parties.)
Initially, Abraham owns 18,000 shares (or 90%) of Sparks' outstanding shares
(the total number of shares can be determined by dividing the subsidiary's
Common Stock account by the $10 par value attributed to each share). After
the issuance of the additional 4,000 shares, an adjustment must be prepared
by the parent company to reflect the change in the underlying book value of
the subsidiary. Because that entry has not yet been recorded, it is included
on the consolidation worksheet as Entry C (labeled in this manner because it
is a correction). The remainder of the consolidation procedures follow the
normal pattern described in previous chapters.
CONSOLIDATION ENTRIES

Copyrights ............................................................ 4,000
(To recognize current year amortization.)
As indicated in the problem, the parent is applying the partial equity method.
Hence an Entry *C must be recorded on the worksheet to convert the recorded
figures (amortization is needed for the three years prior to 2012) to equity
balances:
Amortization expense ($5,000 3 years) = ............. $15,000 (Entry *C)
Amortization during 2012 changed the carrying value of the bond payable from
$282,000 to $288,000 (found in the balance sheet) and the investment from
$145,500 to $147,000. This amortization also affects interest income and
expense accounts.

The above statement uses the direct approach for computing cash flows from
operations. If the indirect approach were to be used, the following computation
would be appropriate.
45. (40 Minutes) (Compute basic and diluted earnings per share. Subsidiary has
stock warrants outstanding and convertible debt.)
(Note: This question may require students to review earnings per share
fundamentals analyzed in intermediate accounting.)
The subsidiary has two convertibles: warrants and bonds. Thus the
subsidiarys diluted earnings per share must be computed as a preliminary step
to the calculations made for the business combination as a whole.
