the chapter and studied the topic, followed by an extended discussion the next class period after
students have read the chapter and attempted homework problems.
We have tried to develop slides that can facilitate a flexible approach to allow instructors to
select the slides that best match their objectives and style for class discussions. This is the reason
we are including over 100 slides for some chapters in the text. We do not expect all instructors to
use all slides, but the slide files should help support different teaching approaches and allow
instructors to select the subset of slides that best matches their specific discussion objectives.
The slides are organized by learning objective. We have included a slide at the beginning of each
learning objective to show where the new material begins. Instructors may or may not want to
use these learning objective slides in class. We provide them primarily as a way of organizing
the material. We also include short multiple choice questions at the end of most learning
objectives. Some instructors find it useful to pause periodically during class to assess students’
level of understanding. For this reason, we include several “practice quiz questions” that can be
used throughout class discussions to engage students, help them focus on key points, or to
facilitate group interaction. Finally, we provide longer exercises and problems that many
instructors find useful in assessing understanding and encouraging group learning.
In addition to the PowerPoint slides for the Chapter proper, we have also included a set of slides
which are a companion to Appendix 8A, which addresses the accounting for Intercompany
Indebtedness assuming straight line amortization rather than effective interest rate amortization
as used in the body of the chapter.
LO 8-1 Understand and explain concepts associated with intercompany debt transfers.
Slides 3-5 provide a basic definition of direct and indirect intercompany debt
transfers.
LO 8-2 Prepare journal entries and consolidation entries related to direct intercompany debt
transfers.
Slide 9 introduces the accounting for bond transfers directly to an affiliate when the
transfer is made at par value.
Slide 10 provides a simple example of a bond transfer directly to an affiliate at par
value. The accounting for this scenario is very easy for students to understand. Thus,
it can easily be covered with just one slide.
Slide 11 explains how the accounting differs if the bonds are issued directly to an
affiliate, but at a discount or premium.
Slides 12-17 modify the fact pattern of the original example so that the bonds are
transferred at a discount.
Slides 18 and 19 introduce the general concept of purchasing an affiliate’s bonds
from a non-affiliate.
LO 8-3 Prepare journal entries and consolidation entries related to an affiliate’s debt
purchased from a nonaffiliate at an amount less than book value.

value.

the accounting for bonds purchased from a nonaffiliate at an amount more than book
value. It follows the Peerless/Special Foods example presented in the chapter over
multiple years.
TEACHING IDEAS
1. Students could be assigned to write a brief memo discussing why a company would
acquire the debt instruments of an affiliated company. What economic circumstances
would have to exist to make this a good business decision? Would the motivations differ
if the consolidated entity would report a loss on the constructive retirement of debt rather
than a gain?
2. Students could be asked to review the financial statements and financial statement notes
of a large consolidated entity and describe the nature of the company’s intercompany
debt and the type of disclosures made regarding the intercompany debt.
