With the help of the above statement it is clear that the consolidation of the income
statement is necessary at time when there is involvement of the parent company acquiring other
company. at the time of acquisition, the working of the company is affected and this is also
highlighted in the financial statements as well (Prodanova and et.al., 2019). in the present case of
B selling good to A will be added in the sales of B and also will be added in the sales of A as
well. the whole amount will be added in the sales of A as well because it is mentioned that there
is not any inventory being left with A.
Moreover, in the next adjustment A sold good to B and a quarter of goods were
remaining in the inventory of B. hence in the present case, for A, the sales will be of whole
amount that is 200000 but in case of B the total amount in sales will be quarter less. This implies

that a quarter from 120000, that is 30000 will be deducted and 170000 will be added in the sales
of B as well. in the present case, 120000 is being selected because the original cost was 120000
and the selling price was 200000.

In the present case, the consolidated financial position statement is being prepared. Under
this the company X is acquiring some of the shares in remaining both company that is Y and Z.
The consolidated statement is being prepared at time when two or more company merge their
operations. Hence, as a result of this, the single balance sheet is being prepared by merging the
operations of the all the companies (Santis, Grossi and Bisogno, 2019). For this purpose, the first
thing evaluated is the share of goodwill within the company. this is necessary pertaining to the
fact that in case there will be difference between the book value and the purchase price paid.
Thus, this is being calculated in order to analyse the goodwill which X will get in order to
acquire the control in Y and Z. also, at time of acquisition the NCI is also being calculated and it
is necessary to be calculated. This NCI that is non- controlling interest is also known as the
minority interest is the ownership position, wherein the shareholder is having less than 50 % of
the outstanding shares and is not having any control within the decisions of the company
(Gavana, Gottardo and Moisello, 2020). further the NCI will be added in the liabilities side
within the consolidated financial statement of all the three companies. This is very important to
include all the working in better and effective manner within the acquisition of the project. This
is necessary for the reason that it will outline better and effective position of the combined
company.
