    The $13,156 was made as below:
    $14,000 (Penn’s reserve)
    + $800 (4/5 sharing of reserve at Speen)
    – $1,200 (4/5 sharing of pre-acquisition profits at Speen)
    – $160 (4/5 sharing of URP at Speen)
    – $444 (Goodwill impairment)
    + $160 (40% sharing of post-acquisition profits of Amersham)

    Remarks:
    Goodwill at acquisition of Speen: $7,500 – ($5,000 + $1,500 + $1,115 – $920) x 4/5
    URP at Speen: $1,000 x (1 – 1/1.25)

    Just one more question, what’s the reason for not including the fair value adjustment of land in the calculation? (920 > 1115)

    Fair value adjustment affects goodwill at acquisition. You can see that the $1,115 – $920 in the goodwill remark is to count in the fair value adjustment. In other words, fail value adjustment at acquisition, similar to pre-acquisition profits, will not affect group retained earning.
