A parent company acquires from a third party bonds that had been issued originally by one of its subsidiaries. What accounting problems are created by this purchase?
A parent business purchases bonds on the open market that had previously been issued by a subsidiary of the parent firm. Consequently, the price paid by the parent is less than the amount of bonds that are currently recorded on the subsid- iary's books. When it comes to reporting the difference between the price paid and the carrying amount of the bonds, how should the parent report it on its consolidated financial statements?
The motivation of a parent company to purchase the outstanding bonds of a subsidiary could be to:
a.
replace the existing debt with new debt at a lower interest rate.
b.
reduce the parent company's acquisition price for the subsidiary.
c.
increase the parent company's ownership percentage in the subsidiary.
d.
create interest revenue to offset interest expense in future income statements.
