Using the vertical format, prepare a consolidated worksheet for December 31, 20X2. Precede the worksheet with a value analysis and a determination and distribution of excess schedule. Include income distribution schedules to allocate the consolidated net income to the noncon- trolling and controlling interests.
Suggestion: Remember that all adjustments to retained earnings are to beginning retained earnings, and it is the beginning balance of the subsidiary retained earnings account that is subject to elimination. One of the adjustments to the parent retained earnings account is the cost- to-equity conversion entry. Be sure to follow the carrydown procedure to calculate the ending retained earnings balances.
