To determine

Consolidation following acquisition: when a company purchases another company’s common stock, the subsidiary is viewed as being part of the consolidated entity only from the time stock acquired. When a subsidiary is acquired during a fiscal period rather than at the beginning or at the end, the results of the subsidiary’s operations are included in the consolidated statements only for the portion of the year that the parent owned the stock. The subsidiary’s revenues, expenses, gains and losses for the portion of the fiscal period prior to acquisition is excluded from the consolidated financial statements.

how the consolidation entries at the end of the year change when there is a midyear acquisition.
