Stock Acquisition
Chapter Focus - Accounting for Stock Acquisitions
When one company controls another company through
direct or indirect ownership of its voting stock.
Acquiring company referred to as the parent.
Acquired company referred to as the subsidiary.
Other shareholders considered noncontrolling interest.
Parent records interest in subsidiary as an investment.
If a subsidiary owns a controlling interest in one or
more other companies, a chain of ownership is forged by
which the parent company controls other companies.
Chapter
3-5
LO 2 Noncontrolling interest (NCI).
Definitions of Subsidiary and Control
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines a
subsidiary as an affiliate controlled by another
entity, directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries.
Control means the possession, direct or indirect, of
the power to direct management and policies of
another entity, whether through the ownership of
voting shares, by contract, or otherwise.
The FASB stressed the need to prepare
consolidated financial statements whenever control
exists, even in the absence of a majority ownership.
Chapter
3-6
LO 1 Meaning of control.
Requirements for the Inclusion of Subsidiaries
in the Consolidated Financial Statements
Purpose of consolidated statements - to present the
operating results and the financial position of a parent
and all its subsidiaries as if they are one economic
entity.
Circumstances when majority-owned subsidiaries should
be excluded from the consolidated statements:
Chapter
3-7
1.
Control does not rest with the majority owner.
2.
Subsidiary operates under governmentally imposed
uncertainty so severe as to raise significant doubt
about the parent’s control.
LO 5 Requirements regarding consolidation of subsidiaries.
Reasons For Subsidiary Companies
Advantages to acquiring a controlling interest in
another company.
1. Stock acquisition is relatively simple.
2. Control of subsidiary can be accomplished with a
smaller investment.
3. Separate legal existence of affiliates provides an
element of protection of the parent’s assets.
Chapter
3-8
LO 3 Acquiring assets or stock.
Consolidated Financial Statements
Statements prepared for a parent company and its
subsidiaries are called consolidated financial
statements.
Ignore legal aspects of separate entities, focus on
economic entity under “control” of management.
Substance rather than form.
Not substitute for statements prepared by separate
subsidiaries, which may be used by:
 Creditors
 Noncontrolling stockholders
 Regulatory agencies

LO 4 Valuation and classification of subsidiary assets and liabilities.
Investments at the Date of Acquisition
Recording Investments at Cost (Parent’s Books)
Stock investment is recorded at cost as measured by
fair value of the consideration given or consideration
received, whichever is more clearly evident.
Consideration given may include cash, other assets,
debt securities, stock of the acquiring company.
Only direct costs of acquiring the stock should be
included in the investment cost.

Investments at the Date of Acquisition
Exercise: On January 1, 2008, Polo Company purchased
100% of the common stock of Save Company by issuing
40,000 shares of its (Polo’s) $10 par value common stock
with a market price of $17.50 per share. Polo incurred
cash expenses of $20,000 for registering and issuing the
common stock. The stockholders’ equity section of the two

Consolidated Balance Sheets: Use of Workpapers
Assets and liabilities are summed, regardless of
whether the parent owns 100% or a smaller controlling
interest.
Noncontrolling interests are reflected as a
component of owners’ equity.
Eliminations must be made to cancel the effects of
transactions among the parent and its subsidiaries.
A workpaper is frequently used to summarize the
effects of various additions and eliminations.

Consolidated Balance Sheets: Use of Workpapers
Investment Elimination
It is necessary to eliminate the investment account of the
parent company against the related stockholders’ equity
of the subsidiary to avoid double counting of these net
assets.
When parent’s share of subsidiary’s equity is eliminated
against the investment account, subsidiary’s net assets
are substituted for the investment account in the
consolidated balance sheet.

“Computation and Allocation of Difference between Implied
Value and Book Value”
1. Determine percentage of stock acquired.
2. Divide purchase price by the percentage acquired to
calculate the implied value of the subsidiary.
3. Difference between step 2 and book value of
subsidiary’s equity must be allocated to adjust the
underlying assets and liabilities of the acquired
company.

LO 9 Computing and allocating the difference

Consolidated Balance Sheets: Use of Workpapers
The prior steps lead to the following possible cases:
Case 1. The implied value (IV) of the subsidiary is equal to the book value of
the subsidiary’s equity (IV = BV), and
a. The parent company acquires 100% of the subsidiary’s stock; or
b. The parent company acquires less than 100% of the subsidiary’s stock.
Case 2. The implied value of the subsidiary exceeds the book value of the
subsidiary’s equity (IV > BV), and
a. The parent company acquires 100% of the subsidiary’s stock; or
b. The parent company acquires less than 100% of the subsidiary’s stock.
Case 3. The implied value of the subsidiary is less than the book value of the
subsidiary’s equity (IV < BV), and
a. The parent company acquires 100% of the subsidiary’s stock; or
b. The parent company acquires less than 100% of the subsidiary’s stock.
