Topic 8: Consolidations: Wholly Owned Subsidiaries
CHAPTER 18
RQ1. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity, a parent.
RQ4. There are 3 key elements:
- Power over the investee
- Exposure or rights to variable returns from the parents involvement with the
subsidiary
- The ability to use the power over the subsidiary to affect the amount of the parents
returns.
RQ5. Power is defined as existing rights that give the current ability to direct the relevant
activities An investor has power over an investor when it has the current right to direct the
relevant activities of the investee.
CHAPTER 19
RQ1. Refer Section 19.4.2 of the text
RQ8. The purpose of these entries is to make consolidation adjustments so that in the consolidate
balance sheet the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the subsidiary are
reported at fair value. This is to fulfil step 3 of the acquisition method required to account for
business combinations by AASB 3.
RQ10. The consolidation worksheet is just a worksheet. The consolidation worksheet entries do
not affect the underlying financial statements or the accounts of the parent or the subsidiary.
Hence, if last years profits required to be adjusted on consolidation, then potentially retained
earnings needs to be adjusted in the current period.
Similarly, a BCVR entry to recognise the land on hand at acquisition at fair value is made in the
consolidation worksheet for each year that the land remains in the subsidiary. The entry does not
change from year to year. Again the reason is that the adjustment to the carrying amount of the
land is only made in a worksheet and not in the actual records of the subsidiary itself.
