Group Account – Income statement


Recall that we have described a group structure as a situation where a parent and a subsidiary exist under the same umbrella. We have discussed consolidation of statements of financial position of a parent and its subsidiary.
We now wish to present the lecture note on consolidation of income statement.
Note that our definitions of parent, subsidiary, control, goodwill remain the same for income statement as statement of financial position. However, the computation of non-controlling interest (NCI) takes a different approach under the income statement. 

Computation of Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) And Consolidation Approach

The following example illustrates the computation of the NCI.
Assuming the following F-Acc Plc holds 68% of the controlling power in C-Acc Ltd and that their respective statements of income for the year end 31st December, 20x9 are as follows 
Group Account question - income statement

The NCI is computed as follows. The percentage holding of the NCI is applied to the profit of the subsidiary as shown below

The above approach (formula) becomes necessary after the consolidation has been done and we wish to show the distribution of the profit. Now, let’s consolidate the above income statement and then see how the NCI’s figure comes in.
 
The above can now formally be presented as follows

Having done the consolidation, the figure for NCI is now shown below


It is usually preferable that the two figures for the parent are added together for presentation sake and that the figure attributable to the parent comes in first. With this, the profit elements attributable to each category is summarized as follows
