further journal entry for liquidation. The reason is Sure Company

B. Preparation of Consolidated Balance Sheet without
Worksheet.
The preparation of a Consolidated Balance Sheet for a parent
company and its wholly owned subsidiary may be accomplished
without the use of a supporting working paper. The parent
company’s investment account and the subsidiary’s stock holder’s
equity accounts do not appear in the consolidated balance sheet
because they are essentially reciprocal accounts. Under purchases
accounting theory, the parent company (combiner) assets and
liabilities (other than intercompany transactions) are reflected at
carrying amounts and the subsidiary assets and liabilities (other
than intercompany transactions) are reflected at current fair
values, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Good will is recognized
to the extent the cost of the parent’s investment in 100% of the
subsidiary’s outstanding common stock exceeds the current fair
value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net asset.
Appling the foregoing principles to Palm corporation and Sure
Company parent-subsidiary relationship, the following Consolidated
Balance Sheet is produced.
