What do you do when preference shares are included in a question, e.g. X purchased 80% of Y and 30% of preference shares. How is the calculation outlined on the website altered accordingly if the company is using fair value method?
November 6, 2014 at 7:05 am #207947Website? When preference shares are given as part of the subsidiary’s financing, the acquiring company invariably buys the preference shares at par. So, in working W2 goodwill, the top of the working will show the two amounts paid for equity shares acquired and for preference shares acquired and the bottom part of W2 will show Share capital (equity) and Share capital (preference)
Is that ok?
November 6, 2014 at 12:08 pm #207973Hi Mike, I understand this but does this affect any other workings? I’m struggling with this question in particular.

Total Equity and Liabilities————–989,300=========532,700The following information is relevant:
1. Henman bought 75% of the equity shares and 40% of the preference shares of Murray Ltd at par on 1st July 2001 for £250,000 when the latter’s retained profits stood at £150,000.
2. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of Murray’s buildings was £50,000 greater than the book value. At that date the buildings had a remaining life of 40 years.
3. The non-controlling interest is to be valued at the fair value of £106,000 as at 1st July 2001
4. Trading between the two companies was rife, and during 2003 Henman had purchased goods from Murray ltd for £60,000. Of this, half was in stock at the balance sheet date. Murray had generated a 150% mark up on cost on these goods. Included in Henman’s trade payables is a balance of £3,000 due to Murray. However there is cash in transit at the year-end of £500, and Murray’s trade receivables includes £3,500 in relation to this debt.
5. Goodwill has been reviewed and is not considered to be impaired.
Required: Prepare the statement of financial position of Henman ltd at 30 June 2003.
This is my working so far but I cannot get the correct answer.

Retained profit—150000=======351000

November 6, 2014 at 1:25 pm #207990I believe that, if you were to DEDUCT the pup instead of adding it, your answer will be closer!
If it still doesn’t come right, post again
October 1, 2018 at 4:47 pm #476076I think the Preference shares should be recorded in the Goodwill computation. Recording it in the net assets aquired account makes you apply the acquisition percentage (75%) instead of its own percentage (40%).
