AMOUNT INVESTED BY THE HOLDING COMPANY IN SUBSIDIARY COMPANY(REFLECTED AS INVESTMENT IN THE ASSET SIDE)
LESS:1.AMOUNT RECEIVED OUT OF CAPITAL PROFIT IN THE FORM OF DIVIDEND
2.PAID UP VALUE OF THE SHARE(NOMINAL VALUE)
3. SHARE OF REMAINING CAPITAL PROFIT OF HOLDING COMPANY

10. Cost of control/goodwill
The holding company purchased shares of subsidiary
more than the real worth of the subsidiary
What is the meaning of real worth?
If all assets are sold and third party liabilities are paid
what remain to share holders is known as real worth
Real worth= Assets(realisable value) –third party liabilities Or
Equity shares + reserves and surplus(both capital profit
and revenue reserve)

11. Example-3 How do you calculate goodwill on the shares acquired by
Holding company?
The excess amount paid over real worth to acquire
subsidiary company’s share is known as goodwill.
Example-3
4000 shares are purchased for Rs. 50,000.
The nominal value is Rs.10. The excess amount of Rs.10,000
is goodwill. Goodwill is shown in the consolidated balance sheet.
Assumed no profits in the balance sheet

12. If goodwill appears already in the holding and subsidiary company?

14. Have You observed that all profits are capital profits. Why?
It is not due to real capital profits. But because profits are earned by subsidiary before the date of acquisition.
Note:1. General reserve before the date of acquisition, Revenue profit before the date of acquisition and all capital profits after the date of acquisition less all wasteful preliminary expenses(Capital loss) are capital profit.
Note:2: Any benefits(money,dividend, bonus shares) derived by holding company out of capital profits reduce their cost of control(Investments)

15. If the subsidiary company shares are purchased less than
Capital reserve
If the subsidiary company shares are purchased less than
the subsidiary’s worth,(Purchased at cheaper rate)
the benefits earned at the time
of acquisition is known as capital reserve. The capital reserve
is a capital profit
Example 4:
If nominal value of shares of subsidiary is Rs.10 and
4000 shares are acquired for Rs. 35,000, then there is
a gain of 5000 to holding company is known as capital reserve

16. What is capital profit? What is the reason of differentiating
between Capital profits and revenue profits?
Capital profits:
1. Profits of subsidiary company earned by operation or
non-operation prior to holding company’s acquisition.
2. Capital profits earned after acquisition
Capital profits are not available for declaration of dividend.
After the acquisition date, profits earned by subsidiary company
by a normal business operations is a revenue profit.
Such profits are available for declaration of dividend.

20. Good will/Capital reserve
It is calculated from the point of view of Holding company
What is the value of total investment made by Holding company?
It is Rs.4,50,000
What was it worth on the date of acquisition?
It is Rs.4,05,000.
Have they invested more than the real worth?
Yes. It means they had paid extra for the goodwill of the subsidiary company.

21. Does it affect goodwill/capital reserve of the company?
Suppose subsidiary company declares dividend after the acquisition out of revenue profits which were earned before the date acquisition?
Holding company had invested in subsidiary.If dividend is declared out of pre-acquisition profits of subsidiary, the holding company gets parts of its investments back.Therefore such dividend received to be reduced from investment of the holding company in subsidiary.
Does it affect goodwill/capital reserve of the company?

22. Yes.It affects goodwill.It decrease the goodwill.
Exercise-6
Suppose subsidiary declares dividend out of general reserve
(Capital profit because it was earned before acquisition)
Rs.40,000 to all share holders, the holding
company’s share of general reserve is ¾ of 40,000=30,000.
Since 30,000 is received by holding out of their investments
The investment value decreased to Rs.4,20,000(4,50,000-30,000).
Therefore goodwill is Rs.15,000.

23. If dividend declared by subsidiary out of post acquisition profit?
Post acquisition profit is a revenue profit.Such dividend received by holding from subsidiary does not reduce the value of investment of the holding company. It is included with the profits of holding company.The journal entry in the books of holding company is:
Cash a/c debit
Profit and loss a/c credit

24. Elimination of common transactions
1.Bills drawn by holding company on subsidiary company or vice-versa:
Holding company
Subsidiary company
Bills receivable a/c debit
To subsidiary company a/c
Holding company a/c debit
To Bills payable a/c
Balance sheet Asset side
Bills receivable
Balance sheet Liability side
Bills payable

25. When we prepare a consolidated Balance sheet?
Treat the holding and the subsidiary company as one unit.Therefore eliminate both bills receivables and payable to the extent of holding company’s share of Bills receivable from consolidated balance sheet.
The same treatment is applicable for debtors and creditors on goods sold by holding to subsidiary or vice versa.
Suppose a girl friend given loan to her Boy friend before marriage and they get married; who has to pay to whom?
No one has to pay to no one( after their marriage) provided???????????!!!!!!!!!!!

26. Provided??????!!!!!
They get married each other.

27. How do you deal in the consolidated Balance sheet?
Loan given by holding company to subsidiary?
2. Debentures issued by holding to subsidiary?
3. Loan given by subsidiary to holding?

2. Minority interest appears as liability in the consolidated B/S
3. Investments of Holding company in subsidiary disappears

4.Goodwill estimated appears along with other existing goodwill

34. How do you deal interest outstanding and accrued interest
from holding to subsidiary or vice-versa?
Both should be eliminated on either side
of the consolidated Balance sheet as they
Belong to the same home
Home is the place for loving and living.
No creditor and debtor relationship

35. How do you deal contingent liability?
Accepted and discounted

Therefore eliminated either
Side of consolidated B/S

In the consolidated B/S

36. If goods are sold to subsidiary to holding or vice-versa?
Concept:- Profits can be realised only when goods are sold
outside the boundary of subsidiary and holding company.
1. If goods supplied are completely sold out, profit would
Have been realised
therefore, no problem arises at the time of consolidation
except if such goods sold are on credit. If the goods were sold
on credit, (If, not yet paid on the B/S date)
might have been included with creditors and debtors
in subsidiary and holding company respectively.If so,
eliminate both such debtors and creditors in the consolidated
Balance sheet.

37. On February 2008 H. Ltd sold goods to S Ltd. goods costing
Exercise-10
On February 2008 H. Ltd sold goods to S Ltd. goods costing
Rs.8000 for Rs.10,000.25% of such goods not yet sold
by subsidiary (S.Ltd.).Creditors of S.ltd include Rs.4,000
Due to H Ltd on account of these goods.
Solution: 75% of the goods are sold out side the boundary.
So, profits are
realised on those goods.But on 25% of the goods not yet sold
are not yet realised. The unrealised profit is
Rs.500(2000 x25%).
1.We remove from stock Rs. 500
2.We remove profit Rs.500
3. Eliminate from debtors and creditors Rs.4000.

38. If goods supplied by subsidiary to holding or vice versa
Are not fully sold on the date of balance sheet?
1.Unrealised profit on supplied goods with in the group to be
eliminated from closing stock.
2.Eliminate the profit on such unsold stock from the supplier
company(either H or S) to the extent of
holding company’s share.

Cost of control ,000
Step-2
Cost of control after issue of Bonus shares
Number of shares after bonus issue are (20, /5 x 20,000) =24,000

51. Why there is a difference in the cost of control before and after issue of Bonus shares?
The Bonus shares are issued out of revenue profits. How does company issue bonus shares?
The bonus shares are considered as capitalisation of profits.What do you mean by capitalisation of profits?
It means Revenue profits are converted into capital profits before the issue of bonus shares.
Once profit is capitalised it amounts to return of investment made by holding company in subsidiary if bonus shares issued. Therefore, it reduces cost of control.

52. Step-3
Revenue Profits
Out of Rs.10,00,000 profits Rs2,00,000 were earned pre-acquisition period.The revenue profit is (10,00,000-2,00,000) Rs.8,00,000.
Bonus shares are issued out of revenue profit. It reduces revenue profit. Remaining profit is[Rs.8,00,000-(25,00,000 x1/5)] Rs.3,00,000.

1.Unclaimed dividend given in the Liability side of subsidiary company.
2.Preliminary expenses given in the asset side of subsidiary company
Answer:
1.Unclaimed dividend is assumed to belong to minority
Share holders.Add to minority Interest.
2.Preliminary expenses is a wasteful expenses. It can not be
Realised in cash. The net worth should be brought down.Capital profit
Of pre-acquisition period should be brought down
to the extent of preliminary expenses.
