Q

Which of the following financial statements (BS, IS), if any, prepared by a parent following an operating period that occurred after a business combination, is likely to be different from financial statements it prepares immediately before the business combination?

A

Yes both a parent’s balance sheet and income statement prepared following an operating period that occurred after a business combination are likely to be different from financial statements it prepares immediately before the business combination. As a result of the combination, the parent will have on its balance sheet an investment account (and probably other accounts/amounts) that it did not have before the combination as well as the effects of post-combination transactions on the assets, liabilities, and equities of the parent and its subsidiaries. In addition, whereas the consolidated income statement prepared immediately before (or immediately after) the combination will consist of only the parent’s revenues and expenses, an income statement prepared after an operating period will include the subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses as well as the result of post-combination transactions on the revenues and expenses of the parent.
