A) The acquisition-date fair values of S's net assets, adjusted for any post-acquisition amortization of Differential. B) The acquisition-date book values of S's net assets, adjusted for any post-acquisition amortization of Differential. C) The book value of S's net assets and S's beginning retained earnings only. D) Only the new goodwill generated from the transaction.arrow_forwardA parent company buys bonds on the open market that had been previously issued by its subsidiary. The price paid by the parent is less than the carrying amount of the bonds on the subsidiary’s records. How should the parent report the difference between the price paid and the carrying amount of the bonds on its consolidated financial statements? As a loss on retirement of the bonds.

Because the bonds now represent intra-entity debt, the difference is not reported.arrow_forward

For internal reporting purposes, the company has decided to apply the equity method. Why might the company have made this decision? It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Consolidation is not required when the parent uses the equity method.arrow_forwardStatement I: A consolidation occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for accounting purposes.Statement II: In a consolidation, all of the combining entities transfers their net assets to form a new entity or sometimes referred as roll-up or put-together transaction. a.
