advantages and disadvantages compared to the equity method?
Answer: The partial equity method is a compromise between the initial value method and the equity
method. It provides some of the advantages of the equity method but is easier to use. Under the partial
equity method, the balance in the investment account is increased by the accrual of the subsidiarys
income and decreased when the subsidiary pays dividends. The method is simpler than the equity
method because amortization of excess fair value allocations is not done.

Answer: The basic objective of all consolidations is to combine asset, liability, revenue, expense, and
stockholders equity accounts in a manner consistent with the concepts of the acquisition method to
reflect substance over form in financial reporting for consolidations. When a parent has control
(substance) over a subsidiary and separate incorporation is maintained (form), the consolidated
financial statements will reflect results as if the multiple entities were one entity.

105. Why is push-down accounting a popular internal reporting technique?
Answer: Push-down accounting has become popular for the parents internal reporting purposes for two
reasons. First, this method simplifies the consolidation process each year. If acquisition value allocations
and subsequent amortization are recorded by the subsidiary, they do not need to be repeated each year
on a consolidation worksheet. Second, recording of amortization by the subsidiary enables that

companys information to provide a good representation of the impact that the acquisition has on the
earnings of the business combination. For example, if the subsidiary earns $100,000 each year but
annual amortization is $80,000, the acquisition is only adding $20,000 to the income of the combination
each year rather than the $100,000 that is reported by the subsidiary unless push-down accounting is
used.
