Solution

The consolidation adjustments on the consolidation worksheet for 30 June 2021 would be as follows:

  1. Debit: Retained Earnings (Parent) - $35,000: This entry is made to decrease the retained earnings of the parent company (A Ltd) by the amount of the bonus share dividend paid by the subsidiary (B Ltd) out of pre-acquisition retained earnings.

  2. Credit: Investment in B Ltd (Parent) - $35,000: This entry is made to decrease the investment in B Ltd on the parent company's books by the amount of the bonus share dividend. This reflects the reduction in the value of A Ltd's investment in B Ltd as a result of the dividend payment.

  3. Debit: Share Capital (Subsidiary) - $35,000: This entry is made to increase the share capital of the subsidiary (B Ltd) by the amount of the bonus share dividend. This reflects the increase in B Ltd's share capital as a result of the dividend payment.

  4. Credit: Retained Earnings (Subsidiary) - $35,000: This entry is made to decrease the retained earnings of the subsidiary (B Ltd) by the amount of the bonus share dividend. This reflects the reduction in B Ltd's retained earnings as a result of the dividend payment.

Please note that these entries are made on the consolidation worksheet and do not affect the individual financial statements of A Ltd or B Ltd. They are merely adjustments made to reflect the consolidated financial position of A Ltd and B Ltd as a single economic entity.
