POSTCREATION PERIODS

2FOCUS OF CHAPTER 2

Ways to Value the Parent’s Investment Account in POSTCREATION Periods

Cost Method vs. Equity Method Driven Consolidation Procedures Income Statements Statements of Retained Earnings

Parent-Company-Only (PCO) Statements Articulation with Consolidated

Statements

Slide 2-3

2 The Cost Method:How It Works

It is cash basis driven: Record income at the parent level ONLY

when sub declares a dividend. Ignore sub’s earnings. Do NOT ignore sub’s losses. Write-down investment ONLY IF value

has been impaired. Write-downs result in a NEW cost basis.

Slide 2-4

2 The Cost Method: How It Works (cont.)

It is a one-way street!

The investment can be written down--but NEVER written up.

Slide 2-5

2 The Cost Method: Pros & Cons

Pros: Minimal G/L bookkeeping by parent. Simple consolidation procedures.

Cons: Overly conservative valuation. Parent can manipulate its reported

income. PCO statements--if used internally

or issued--may be of limited value.

Slide 2-6

2 The Cost Method: MAJOR Point of Interest

Although the parent CANmanipulate its OWNreported net income,

it can NEVER manipulate

CONSOLIDATED net income.

Slide 2-7

2 The Equity Method:How It Works

It is accrual basis driven: Record income at the parent level

based on sub’s earnings and losses--an

AUTOMATIC VALUATION TECHNIQUE.

Sub’s dividends reduce the parent’s investment (the parent has less invested).

Sub’s P/L

autopilot

Slide 2-8

2 The Equity Method: How It Works (cont.)

It is a two-way street!

The investment can be:(1) written down AND(2) written up.

Slide 2-9

2 The Equity Method:Pros and Cons

Pros: Based on economic activity--not the

parent-controlled dividend policy. Has 2 built-in checking figures.

Cons: Entails continual bookkeeping. Unnecessary work if PCO statements

are not used internally or issued to outsiders.

Slide 2-10

2 The Equity Method: MAJOR Point of Interest

Compared with the cost method, the consolidation entry under the equity method

has a “new kid on the block.”

A posting must be made to eliminate the subsidiary’s beginning retained earnings.

Slide 2-11

2 The Cost Method: Things to Remember in Consolidation

Consolidated NET INCOME does NOT equal the parent’s NET INCOME.

Consolidated RETAINED EARNINGSdoes NOT equal the parent’s RETAINED EARNINGS.

P S Sub’s Divies CON.$54,000 + $24,000 - $4,000 = $74,000

P S CON.$103,000 + $20,000 = $123,000

Slide 2-12

2 The Cost Method: Things to Remember in Consolidation

NONE NONE of the sub’s beginning or ending RETAINED EARNINGS is eliminated in consolidation.

ONLY ONLY the parent’s DIVIDENDS arereported in the consolidated column.

P S CON. $54,000 + $20,000 = $74,000

P S Sub’s Divies CON.$(51,000) + $(4,000) - $4,000 = $(51,000)

Slide 2-13

2 The Equity Method: Things to Remember in Consolidation

Consolidated net income EQUALSthe parent’s net income.

Consolidated retained earnings EQUALSthe parent’s retained earnings.

P CON. $74,000 = $74,000

P CON. $123,000 = $123,000

Slide 2-14

2 The Equity Method: Things to Remember in Consolidation

ALL of sub’s beginning & ending RETAINED EARNINGS are eliminated in consolidation.

ONLYONLY the parent’s DIVIDENDS arereported in the consolidated column(also occurs under the cost method). P S Sub’s Divies CON.

$(51,000) + $(4,000) - $4,000 = $(51,000)

P S Sub’s R.E. CON.$123,000 + $20,000 - $20,000 = $123,000

Slide 2-15

2 PCO Statements: Presented in Notes to the Consolidated Statements

PCO statements are mandatory for publicly owned banks and S&Ls (SEC rules). Can ONLY use the equity method.

Equity method results in 100%articulation between PCO statementsand consolidated statements : SAME net income amounts. SAME retained earnings amounts.

Bank of USA

Slide 2-16

2 PCO Statements: Presented in Notes to the Consolidated Statements

Retained Earnings Available for Dividends: Based on the parent’s G/L amount--NOT

on the consolidated retained earnings amount.

Use of the equity method in PCO statements produces IDENTICALretained earnings amounts.

Use of the cost method in PCO statements creates CONFUSION.

Slide 2-17

2 Consolidation: The Most Important Point of All on Investment Basis

The consolidated statement

amounts are identical whether the parent usesthe cost method or the equity method--

this holds true for ALL 3 statements.

Slide 2-18

2 Total Investment Loss Situations: Equity Method Procedures

Parent Has GUARANTEED Sub’s Debt: NO interruption occurs in the application

of the equity method.

Parent can lose more than it has invested --parent is“on the hook.”

Slide 2-19

2 Total Investment Loss Situations: Equity Method Procedures (cont.)

Parent Has NOT GUARANTEED Sub’s Debt: Discontinue equity method when

sub’s equity reaches zero--resume ONLY WHEN sub’s equity becomes

positive.

Parent can NEVER lose more than it has invested.

Slide 2-20

2 AROI Versus IRR: They Serve Entirely Different Purposes

Annual Return on Investment (AROI) :

Tells what was actually earned on

an investment EACH year. Based on actual GAAP net income. Can be used to calculate an average

AROI covering several years. 1 2 3 AVG. 18% + 12% + 15% = 45%; 45%/3 = 15%

Slide 2-21

2 AROI Versus IRR: They Serve Entirely Different Purposes

Internal Rate of Return (IRR): An assumed rate covering

SEVERAL years. Based on cash flows for those

years. CANNOT show what was actually

earnedin any GIVEN year.Artificially assumes that each

year’s unrecovered investment (at B-O-Y) earns the SAME rate.

Slide 2-22

2 AROI vs. IRR: They Serve Entirely Different Purposes

AROI IRR

Purpose served:

Tells what was actually earned for a given year.

Tells what was or will be earned over several years.

Short-coming:

An average AROI covering several years is less reliable than IRR.

Reveals nothing about a given year.
