Using the vertical format, prepare a consolidated worksheet for December 31, 20X7. Precede the worksheet with a determination and distribution of excess schedule. Include income distribution schedules to allocate the consolidated net income to the noncontrolling and controlling interests.

Suggestion: Remember that all adjustments to retained earnings are to beginning retained earnings, and it is the beginning balance of the subsidiary retained earnings account which is subject to elimination. Carefully follow the “carrydown” procedure to calculate the ending retained earnings balances.
