28) There are several reasons why a company would acquire a subsidiary’s voting common stock rather than
its net assets. Identify at least two advantages to acquiring a controlling interest in the voting stock of
another company rather than its assets.
Answer: Reasons why a company would acquire a subsidiary rather than its net assets include the following:
Stock acquisition is relatively simple and avoids the often lengthy and difficult negotiations that are
required in a complete takeover.
Control of the subsidiary's operations can be accomplished with a much smaller investment.
The separate legal existence of the individual affiliates provides an element of protection of the
parent's assets from attachment by subsidiary creditors.
29) A useful first step in the consolidating process is to prepare a Computation and Allocation of Difference
(CAD) Schedule. Identify the steps involved in preparing the CAD schedule.
Answer: Preparation of the Computation and Allocation of Difference Schedule involves the following
process:
Determine the percentage of stock acquired in the subsidiary.
Compute the implied value of the subsidiary by dividing the purchase price by the percentage
acquired.
Allocate any difference between the implied value and the book value of the subsidiary's equity to
adjust the underlying assets and/or liabilities of the acquired company.
