If less than 100% of a subsidiary's voting stock is obtained, how is the presence of the other owners reflected in consolidated financial statements? What accounting is appropriate for a noncontrolling interest? How are these figures computed and where are they reported on the consolidated statements?
Question 2. Atwater Company acquires 80 percent of the outstanding voting stock of Belwood Company. On that date, Belwood possesses a building with a $160,000 book value but a $220,000 fair value. Assuming that a bargain purchase has not been made, at what value would this building be consolidated under each of the following?
a. Economic unit concept.
