What is consolidated income?

Explanation / Answer

In 2018, the bonds were purchased by 007, they are listed as assets in 007 Balance sheet and as a liability on James company Balance sheet. During consolidation, both this asset as well as liability will have to be eliminated along with the premium on bonds, interest expense and interest income.

The balances in each of these will be as follows:

Bonds Payable = 400,000

Premium on bonds = 40,000 {less amount amortized over the last 4 years (2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018)} =

40,000 - 40,000/20*4= 40,000 - 8,000 = 32,000

Investment in bonds = 417,000 less amortization of premium paid for the year = 417,000 - 1,000 = 416,000

**$1,000 is arrived as follows:

Premium paid = 17,000

Number of years to maturity = 17

Amortiation per annum = 17,000 / 17 = 1,000

Interest expense in James company books = each instalment = 19,000, for the year 38,000

Interest income in 007 - each instalment = 19,500, for the year = 19,500*2 = 39,000

2019:

Note: Premium on bonds is yet again reduced by $2,000 owing to the amortization entries at each payment in James' books. Similarly Investment is reduced by $1,000 owing to the amortization entries in 007 books
