  • The common stock and retained earnings are considered stockholders equity. It will increase the equity account. Thus, an increase in the equity account should be credited. However, in an elimination entry, it should be debited and eliminated.
  • The difference amount should be assigned as a differential.
  • The investment is considered as an asset. The increase in asset accounts should be debited. However, in an eliminating entry, it should be credited and eliminated.
  • The profit from the disposal of building and equipment, land, patent, goodwill and inventory should be assigned as a differential. The amount of goodwill is determined by subtracting the total amount of realizable value of assets from the fair value of assets.
  • The profit or loss from the disposal of buildings and equipment is calculated by subtracting the net amount of building and equipment from the fair value of building and equipment. Therefore, $500,000( $670,000$220,000 )=$50,000
  • The “S” Company reported an account payable of $6,500 to the “P” Company. Thus, it would affect both accounts payable and account receivable. The accounts payable should be debited and accounts received should be credited with $6,500.
