25. Corporation Parent (P) owns 85 percent of Corporation A1; Corporation A1 owns 60 percent of Corporation A2; Corporation A2 owns 90 percent of A3; Corporation A3 owns 60 percent of Corporation A4 and 15 percent of Corporation A2; Corporation A4 owns 100 percent of Corporation A5. Identify the consolidated group(s) of corporations.
A1 is subsidiary of P with 85% holding. Since A1 owns 60% of Corporation A2 thus, P in turn owns (60x 85%) =51% hence, A2 is also the subsidiary of P as well as A1. Since A2 owns 90% of A3 hence, A3 is certainly the subsidiary of A2 however not the subsidiary of P as the indirect holding of P in A3 is (90 x 51%) = 45.90%. A4 is the subsidiary of A3 only with 60% holding by the later. Corporation A4 owns 100% of Corporation A5 thus, A5 is subsidiary of both A4 and A3.
Thus, the consolidated group is as following:
P is the holding company with subsidiaries A1, A2.
A1 is the holding company with subsidiary A2 and A3.
A3 is the holding company with A4 and A5 as the subsidiary companies.
A4 is the holding company of A5 only.
