Does anyone know whether the equipment is amortized for half the usual
amount in Year 2?

Thanks!

I have another question, I'm having problems with my Consolidated
balance sheet, it's not balancing. It's off by nearly the amount of
the unamortized purchase discrepancy. I've gone through the examples
on page 236 of the text and haven't figured it out yet, can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Also, I thought it might be good to compare some answers:
Consolidated retained earnings (beginning/end) - 2,720,000 / 3,310,000
Cons. Net income - $1,090,000
Balance sheet - A = 7,860,000 L&E = 7,440,000 (hence my problem)

Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same numbers for consolidated net income. However, my B/S assets = 8,055,000.
Could you please tell me how you got beginning retained earnings (2,720,000)?
Thank you,
Irina

Your figures are correct except B/S which should be $8.055. I dont know where you are doing wrong but deduct 75K from A/R, add $480K to P&E and also add $270K to Acc Depr.
For the liabilities part deduct $75K and NCI-B/S is $770K.

Thank you! Part of my problem was a formula error in excel, I dealt
with the P&E and Acc Depr differently, but your way is better. I
hadn't yet dealt with the AR, which was silly, but definitely makes
sense.

I'm confused on the NCI-BS, actually I'm having issues with the
difference between NCI BS and NCI IS for parts b and c as well... was
there an example somewhere that you followed? I'd really like to
understand rather than just following your lead. This is what I have
for NCI which is what I used on the B/S...

Consolidated Net Income

Pearl's Net Income - cost method 1,000,000.00
Less: dividends from Silver -150,000.00

850,000.00
Silver's Net income 400,000.00
Less Purchase discrepancy amortization -80,000.00
320,000.00
Pearl's ownership 75%
240,000.00
Consolidated Net Income 1,090,000.00
NCI (25%) 80,000.00


Thanks!

There is a similar problem with a solution in Module 6 (self-test, question 2).
