    Five Quarters has purchased 100% of the ordinary shares of Three
    Halves and is trying to determine the fair value of the net assets at the
    acquisition date.
    Three Halves owns land that is currently developed for industrial use. The
    fair value of the land if used in a manufacturing operation is $5 million.
    Many nearby plots of land have been developed for residential use (as
    high-rise apartment buildings). The land owned by Three Halves does not
    have planning permission for residential use, although permission has
    been granted for similar plots of land. The fair value of Three Halves’ land
    as a vacant site for residential development is $6 million. However,
    transformation costs of $0.3 million would need to be incurred to get the
    land into this condition.
    How should the fair value of the land be determined?

    Hi,

    Land is a non-financial asset and so it looks as the use to which the asset can be put, using its highest and best use. The asset can be put to residential use so we would use the $6 million less the $0.3 million transformation costs.

    Thanks
