    Hello,

    I cannot understand the working of the below question:

    When a parent acquired 100% of the subsidiary on the 1 January, 2011, the cost of acquisition was $200,000.
    In addition, the parent paid legal fees connected with the acquisition of $10,000 and a further $20,000 was payable if the subsidiary achieved profitability in the year ending 31 December, 2012.
    (The probability of profitability is looking remote!)
    The parent’s cost of capital is 10%.

    What is the total cost of acquisition in the calculation of Goodwill (Working 2)?

    $216,528
    $226,528
    $218,182
    $210,000
    The total cost of acquisition for Working 2 is $216,528 ($200,000 + (.8264 * $20,000))

    how the 0.8264 was calculated please?

    Thanks

    It’s the value of a dollar payable in 2 years’ time at a discount rate of 10%

    $1 x 1/1.10 x 1/ 1.10

    OK?
