Table: (5)

Explanation entries:

Date	Accounts title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit($)	Credit($)
1.	Dividend income		13,750
	Dividend paid			13,750
	( To eliminate intercompany dividend payments recorded by parent as income)
2.	Common stock ( Simbel)		72,000
	Additional PIC ( Simbel)		45,000
	Retained earnings (1/1/2015)(Simbel)		38,244
	Fixed assets ( Revaluation)		9,000
	Investment in Simbel			164,244
	(To eliminate subsidiary’s stockholder’s equity accounts and allocate the excess of purchase price over book value to land.)

Table: (6)

The excess of cost over book value is calculated as follows:

Particulars	Amounts ( $)
Purchase Price	126,000
Book value,(1/1/2015):
Common stock	(72,000)
Additional paid in capital	( 45,000)
Excess of purchase price over book value	9,000

Table: (7)

The excess of cost over the book value is pounds 30,000. This US & will be $\$9,000\left(\$30,000\times 0.3\right)$ .

Explanatory entries:

Date	Accounts title and Explanation	Post Ref.	Debit($)	Credit($)
3.	Investment in Simbel		38,244
	Retained earnings ( 1/1/2015)			38,244
	( To accrue 2015 increase in subsidiary book value entry is needed because parent is using the cost method)
4.	Cumulative Translation adjustment		900
	Fixed assets( realization)			900
	( To revalue the excess of cost over book value for the change in exchange rate since the date of acquisition with the consolidated cumulative transition adjustment)

Table: (8)

The revalution of ‘’excess’’ is calculated as follows:

Particulars	Amounts ( $)
Excess of cost over book value US Dollar equivalent at 12/31/2015 $\text{Pound}30,000\times \$0.27$	8,100
US Dollar equivalent at 1/1/2015 $\text{Pound}30,000\times \$0.30$	9,000
Cumulative translation adjustment related to excess (1/31/2015)	(900)
