Subsidiaries
An investee is a subsidiary when they say in the scenario that they have control or if they have more than 50% of the shares or more than 50% of the voting rights.
The consolidated method is used.
This means that transactions of the subsidiary and the parent needs to be consolidated. (Plus all the assets, labilities and equity)
And then eliminate the intercompany transactions.
Non-controlling interest needs to be disclosed
Goodwill or bargain gain purchase needs to be recognised.
1. Use the journal method to take out intergroup transactions.
All possible journals
J1

Things to remember:
1. When the non controlling interest is measured at fair value, they will give and amount that it is worth, take the shares that they parent does not have and multiply with
the amount.

Elected to measure non-controlling interests in an acquiree at
their elected to measure non-controlling interests in an
acquiree at their

,Please remember
When the subsidiary sells inventory or assets to the parent include the movement in the transaction above.
Example
Subsidiary sold inventory at a margin of 25% on cost to parent. During the current year parent purchased R750,000 of inventory. The balance of the inventory was
R140,000 at the end of the financial year that was purchased from the subsidiary and the previous year the closing inventory that was purchased form the subsidiary
was R110,000. The parent owns 85% of the subsidiary.
1st calculate the profit for the year. This is before any additional information is considered. The amounts will be displayed on the trail balance. They will
give you the profit for the year or they will give the revenue, cost of sales, other expenses, Income tax expense, Other income. Let say the Trail balance is as follows.
Remember only use subsidiaries amounts.
Trail balance
Parent Subsidiary
Revenue 4,114,000 2,200,000
Other income 386,000 96,000
Cost of sales - 1,600,000 - 950,000

Profit for the current year 1,742,400 664,128
Adjusted for:
Unrealised profit in opening inventory (1) 15,840 This is realised profit. They will sell the opening inventory first so it will be sold.
Unrealised profit in closing inventory - 27,360 This is the unrealised profit. They did not sell this.
Profit for the year after adjusted 652,608
Non-controlling interest (652,608 x 15%) 97,891 Use this amount in the journal J4.
,Calculation of adjusted for:
1.Unrealised profit in opening inventory:
If they say that inventory was sold by the subsidiary before year end you need to do this. DO not do this
if the parent sells inventory to the subsidiary. If they say that inventory is sold at a markup of 25% on
(110,000 x 25/125) 22,000 selling take opening inventory x 25/100.
Tax effect (22,000 x 28%) - 6,160
15,840
2. Unrealised profit in closing inventory:
(190,000 x 25/125) 38,000
Tax effect (38,000 x 28%) - 10,640

Do not take out the loan, trade payables and receivables of associate or joint venture - Interest and loan
1. Only realised transactions are eliminated for associates and joint ventures.
Loans, trade receivables, payables effect the SFP in BOTH entities and are therefore NOT eliminated under the equity method. Interest, accounting fees effect the SPL in BOTH entities and are
therefore also NOT eliminated under the equity method.
2. In other words if a transaction only effect SPF transactions or SPL transactions it is not eliminated.
Only eliminated if a SPL and SFP transaction is eliminated.
3. Loans between the investor and an associate and the interest paid (or received) on such loans is not
eliminated under the equity method.
Management fees paid by associate to investor
Only unrealised transactions are eliminated for associates. This means that only transactions that
effect the SPL in one entity and the SFP in the other are eliminated under the equity
method. Loans, trade receivables, payables effect the SFP in BOTH entities and are therefore NOT
eliminated under the equity method. Interest, accounting fees effect the SPL in BOTH entities and are
therefore also NOT eliminated under the equity method.
As the management fees paid and received affect only the SPL in the accounting records of both Fly Ltd
and By Ltd (‘other income’ and ‘other expenses’, they are realised transactions and are therefore not eliminated under the equity method.
The management fees received from the associate will be included in “other income” in the consolidated statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (as they will not be eliminated).
