...CHAPTER 4 CONSOLIDATION OF WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES ACQUIRED AT MORE THAN BOOK VALUE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q4-1 The carrying value of the investment is reduced under equity method reporting when (a) a dividend is received from the investee, (b) a differential is amortized, (c) an impairment of goodwill occurs, and (d) the market value of the investment declines and is less than the carrying value and it is concluded the decline is other than temporary. Q4-2 A differential occurs when an investor pays more than or less than underlying book value in acquiring ownership of an investee. (a) In the case of the cost method, no adjustments are made for amortization of the differential on the investor's books. (b) Under equity-method reporting the difference between the amount paid and book value must be assigned to appropriate asset and liability accounts of the acquired company. If any portion of the differential is assigned to an amortizable or depreciable asset, that amount must be charged against income from the investee over the remaining economic life of the asset. Q4-3 Amortization of a differential is the most common reason for investment income to be lower than a proportionate share of reported income of the investee. If Turner Company has paid more than book value for the shares of Straight Lace Company, the differential must be assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee, or to goodwill. Those amounts assigned to depreciable and...

...Introduction As a group, we decided to base our research on comparing the recruitment experiences of two recent recruits within the “Big 4” accounting firms. The group agreed on this method so we could analyze the differences between the two processes and also the similarities as the companies work within the same industry sector. Also, to gain a more extensive view we chose to select two different types of recruit. One member of the team interviewed a Postgraduate employee and another asked questions of a direct entry employee. We chose these interviewees as it is a relevant area for our team and it was insightful to see the recruitment process they went through considering we may engage in a related process in the near future. Review of Literature Interview Once a candidate is selected, it is the responsibility of the recruiter to determine the method necessary to select the ideal employee for a given position. There are a number of techniques that can be utilized for this assessment, the primary ones being interviewing, psychometric testing, and provided work samples or references. The type of evaluation chosen must take into account the nature of the position, the expectations of the company, and how accurately it will provide insight into a candidate. The success of this process hinges on the ability to accurately compare all candidates on many levels. Finding a method that is both standardized and minimizes bias provides a greater opportunity for successful recruitment...
