14. What effect would cumulative preferred stock have on the allocation of a net loss to the common
stockholders?
The company that you work for is a subsidiary of a larger company. At the beginning of each year, the
subsidiary prepares a budget for the year that includes a forecast of revenues for the coming year. The
subsidiary sells a significant amount of inventory to the parent to be used in the manufacture of another
product. The subsidiary’s revenues for the current year are short of the budgeted amount. An error in the
books has misclassified an intercompany sale as an ordinary sale. The manager of the subsidiary asks you
not to fix the error until after the books are closed. What is your responsibility? What action, if any, should
you take? Why?

1. Constructive retirement refers to the purchase of an affiliate's outstanding bonds from outsiders. From
a consolidated entity viewpoint, the consolidated entity has retired its outstanding debt, and is thus
treated as an early extinguishment of debt. The difference between the carrying value of the bonds and
the purchase price to the purchasing affiliate is the constructive gain or loss on bond retirement.
2. The gain or loss is composed of two elements: (1) the discount or premium on the books of the issuer,
and (2) the discount or premium paid by the purchaser. Discounts and/or premiums on the books of the
two affiliates will be subsequently amortized to income. The cumulative effect on income of the
amortization of the discount or premium by the two affiliates is equal to the constructive gain or loss.
3. The allocation of a gain or loss would be made to each affiliate based on whether the affiliate paid or
issued the bonds for more or less than book value or par value. A discount (premium) to the issuer
would be allocated to the issuing company as a loss (gain), whereas a discount (premium) to the
purchasing affiliate would be a gain (loss). The sum of the two is the total constructive gain or loss.
4. Support for allocating the total gain or loss to the issuing company is based on the contention that the
purchasing affiliate is acting as an agent for the issuing company. Since both companies are under the
control of the management of the parent company, the bonds could be transferred to the issuing
company. Thus, the purchase is in substance a retirement by the issuing company.
5. The noncontrolling interest is affected by the portion of the constructive gain or loss allocated to the
subsidiary. Because the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement in the year the bonds
are purchased, a discount or premium amortization related to bonds that is made subsequent to the
purchase is added back or is subtracted from the subsidiary's reported income. Such adjustments will
increase or decrease the noncontrolling interest in the income of the subsidiary.
7. The outside party (the maker of the note) is primarily liable; and Affiliate Y, who discounted the note
with an outside party, is contingently liable for it.
8. Stock dividends are viewed as a distribution of the earliest earnings accumulated in the retained
earnings account.
9. The retained earnings balance at the date of acquisition is reduced since the issuance of a stock
dividend is viewed as a distribution of the earliest earnings accumulated.
10. A memorandum entry is required to recognize the number of shares received since a dividend in stock
is not considered income to the recipient.
11. In the year of declaration, one additional elimination entry is required to eliminate the effects of the
dividend. In subsequent periods the amounts of this entry are combined with the investment
elimination entry.

12. Preferred stock of a controlled corporation held by others not in the controlled group represents
noncontrolling interest in the controlled corporation. The rights of these shareholders depend on the
stock's preference; possibilities are an interest in net assets, earnings, and retained earnings of the
controlled corporation.
13. Excess of cost over book value is debited to Other Contributed Capital or to Retained Earnings; excess
of book value acquired over cost is credited to Other Contributed Capital.
14. The preferred stock's cumulative preference would increase the net loss allocable to the common
stockholders.
The responsibility of the management of the company is to present accurately the financial statements to the
shareholders and investors. Accordingly if an error is detected in the books, it should be rectified as soon as
it is discovered so that shareholders and investors are not misled. Intercompany sales are eliminated in the
consolidating process. Failure to do so is a material omission, particularly when the inventories in question
have not been sold to outsiders but remain in the inventories of the consolidated entity. You should not
succumb to the pressure exerted by the manager of the subsidiary.
