Accounting for Branches and Combined Financial Statements
Chapter 4 Accounting for Branches and Combined Financial Statements
2
Objectives of this Chapter
To learn the accounting and reporting for segments (i.e., branches and division) of a business entity. Accounting for Branches
3
Branches and Divisions
Branches and divisions are separate economic and accounting entities from their home office. However, they are not separate legal entities from their home office. Accounting for Branches
4
Branches and Divisions (contd.)
4/2/2017 Branches and Divisions (contd.) Branch: a business unit located at some distance from the home office. This unit carries merchandise obtained from the home office, makes sales, approves customers’ credit, makes collections from its customers, and remits cash received. Accounting for Branches
5
Branches and Divisions (contd.)
Divisions: a segment of a business entity which generally has more autonomy than a branch. Accounting for a division not operated as a separate corporation (i.e., subsidiary company) is similar to that of branches. Accounting for Branches
6
Branches and Divisions (contd.)
Divisions: Accounting for a division operated as a separate corporation is different from that of branches and will be discussed in latter chapters (6-11). Consolidated financial statements are required for these business organizations. Accounting for Branches
7
Start-up Costs of Opening New Branches
4/2/2017 Start-up Costs of Opening New Branches Based on Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5) “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities”, all start-up costs, including costs associated with organizing a branch or division should be expensed in the accounting period in which the costs are incurred. Accounting for Branches
8
Accounting System for a Branch
4/2/2017 Accounting System for a Branch Two alternative systems: 1. The branch does not maintain a complete set of accounting records. The home office serves only as an accounting and control center for the branches. Accounting for Branches
9
Accounting System for a Branch (contd.)
4/2/2017 Accounting System for a Branch (contd.) 2. The branch maintains a complete set of accounting records consisting of journal entries and ledger accounts. Financial statements are prepared by the branch account and forwarded to the home office. Accounting for Branches
10
Accounting System for a Branch (contd.)
4/2/2017 Accounting System for a Branch (contd.) This chapter focuses on the second system that the branch maintains its own accounting records. Accounting for Branches
11
Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office
Home Office Ledger Account: This account is used by the branch to account for all transactions with the home office. It is credited for all cash, merchandise or other assets provided by the home office to the branch. It is debited for all cash, merchandise, or other assets sent by the branch to the home office or to other branches. Accounting for Branches
12
Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office (contd.)
4/2/2017 Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office (contd.) Home Office Ledger Account: This account represents the net investment by the home office in the branch. At the end of a period, the balance of Income Summary account of a branch is closed to the Home Office account. Accounting for Branches
13
Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office (contd.)
4/2/2017 Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office (contd.) Investment in Branch Ledger Account: This account is a reciprocal ledger account (to Home Office account) used by the home office to account for any transactions with the branches. It is debited for cash, merchandise and services provided to the branch by the home office and for the net income reported by the branch. This account is a reciprocal ledger account (to Home Office account) used by the home office to account for any transactions with the branches. It is debited for cash, merchandise and services provided to the branch by the home office and for the net income reported by the branch. It is credited for cash, or other assets (i.e., office equipment, furniture, etc.) received from the branch, and for net losses reported by the branch. Thus, this account reflects the equity method of accounting. Home office usually maintains one investment account for each branch. Accounting for Branches

4/2/2017 Reciprocal Ledger Accounts Used by the Branch and Home Office (contd.) Investment in Branch Ledger Account: It is credited for cash, or other assets received from the branch, and for net losses reported by the branch. Accounting for Branches
15
Acquisition of Plant Assets Used in Branch
If a plant asset is acquired by the home office for a branch’s usage and the accounting record for the plant asset is maintained by the home office, the accounting treatments are: Accounting for Branches
16
Acquisition of Plant Assets Used in Branch (contd.)
For the home office: debit a plant asset account: branch, credit cash or a liability account. For the branch: no entry. Accounting for Branches
17
Acquisition of Plant Assets Used in Branch (contd.)
If a plant asset is acquired by a branch for its usage but the accounting record for this plant asset is maintained by the home office, the accounting treatments are: Accounting for Branches
18
Acquisition of Plant Assets Used in Branch (contd.)
For the branch: debit Home Office and credit cash or a liability account. For the home office: debit a plant asset account: branch, and credit Investment in Branch account. Accounting for Branches
19
Expense Incurred by Home Office and Allocated to Branches
The home office may acquire plant assets and insurance for these assets. These plant assets are carried in the home office accounting record but used by branches. The home office may pay some taxes on behalf of branches, and arrange for advertising that benefits all branches. Accounting for Branches
20
Expense Incurred by Home Office and Allocated to Branches (contd.)
These expenses are usually allocated to branches in determining net income of branches. These expenses include depr. expense for the plant assets purchased by home office but used by branches. Accounting for Branches
21
Expense Incurred by Home Office and Allocated to Branches (contd.)
If the home office chooses to allocate these expenses to branches, the accounting treatments are: a. For the home office: debit Investment in Branch account, credit expense account b. For the branch: debit expense account, credit Home Office account. Accounting for Branches
22
Accounting for Branches
Interest Charged by the Home office on the Capital Invested in Branches When the home office serves only as an accounting and control center without any sales, most or all of its expenses may be allocated to the branches. In additional, the home office may charge each branch interest on the capital invested in each branch. Accounting for Branches
23
Accounting for Branches
Interest Charged by the Home office on the Capital Invested in Branches (contd.) Such interest revenue recognized by the home office should be offset with the interest expense recognized by the branches in the combined financial statements. Accounting for Branches
24
Alternative Methods of Billing Merchandise Shipments to Branches
Three alternative methods are available to the home office in billing the merchandise shipped to the branches: a. billed at the home office cost, b. billed at a percentage above the home office cost, and c. billed at the branch’s retail selling price. Accounting for Branches
25
Billed at the home office cost:
Strength: widely used because of its simplicity Weakness: attributes all gross profits of the business to the branches. Accounting for Branches
26
Billed at a percentage above home office cost:
Strength: is able to allocate a reasonable gross profit to the home office. Weakness: the net income reported by the branch may be understated and the ending inventories at branch are overstated for the enterprise as a whole. Accounting for Branches
27
Billed at a percentage above home office cost: (contd.)
Thus, for the combined financial statement, the home office must eliminate the excess of billed prices over cost (intracompany profits). Accounting for Branches
28
Billed at branch retail selling prices:
Strength: to increase the internal control over inventories at branches. Weakness: no gross profit assigned to the branches and the branch’s net loss will equal its operating expenses. Accounting for Branches
29
Accounting for Branches
Separate Financial Statements for Branch and for Home Office (for internal use only) Separate financial statements for branches should be prepared so that management can evaluate the performance of each branch. The branch’s financial statements may be revised by the home office to include the allocated expenses incurred by the home office. Accounting for Branches
30
Accounting for Branches
Separate Financial Statements for Branch and for Home Office (for internal use only) (contd.) Also, the financial statements of branches should be revised to eliminate any intracompany profits on merchandise shipments or interest charge on capital investments. Accounting for Branches
31
Accounting for Branches
Combined financial Statements for Home Office and Branch (for external use) For investors, the home office and branches are a single business entity. Thus, combined financial statements should be prepared for external users. A four-column work sheet paper is used to facilitate the preparation of the combined financial statement. Accounting for Branches
32

Periodic Inventory System
Textbook (p141-p144): When a periodic inventory system is adopted, inventory account cannot be used for the shipments of merchandise between the home office and the branch. Accounts such as “Shipments to Mason Branch” (used by the home office) and “Shipments from Home Office” (used by the branch) are used. Accounting for Branches
79
Periodic Inventory System (contd.) Example:
Continue with the Smaldino Company for a second year of operations (2000) but using the periodic inventory system for both the home office and Mason Branch. The beginning inventories for 2000 were carried by Mason Branch at $22,500 (home office cost is $15,000 due to a 50% markup by the home office). Accounting for Branches
80
Periodic Inventory System (contd.) Example: (contd.)
Assume that during 2000, the home office shipped merchandise to Mason Branch that cost $80,000 and Mason was billed at $120,000. During 2000, Mason Branch sold $150,000 merchandise that was billed at $112,500. The journal entries to record the shipments and sales at a price above home office cost under the periodic inventory system are as follows: Accounting for Branches
