Company A owned 51% of the voting common stock of B Comany . Company A’s interest was acquired several years ago on the date that the subsidiary was formed. Consequently, no goodwill or other allocation was recorded in connection with the purchase price.
On January 1, 2005, Company B sold $1,400,000 in ten-year bonds to the public at 108. The bonds pay a cash, or stated, interest rate of 10% payable every December 31. Company A acquired 40% of these bonds on January 1, 2006, at an effective interest rate of 11 percent.

What consolidation journal entry would have been recorded in connection
with these intercompany bonds on December 31, 2006?

Please don't post the same question more than one place. It's confusing to keep track of. And ditto about the guidelines on posting homework questions.
