    Additional information:

    1.Machira acquired 75% of the equity share capital of Jira on 1 April 2011 when the retained earnings of Jira were $45 million and the balance on Jira’s other reserves was nil. This acquisition resulted in Machira having power over Jira which when exercised affects its return from the investment. Jira has not issued any shares since the acquisition date. The non- controlling interest in Jira was valued at fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of one equity share in Jira was $2.00 on 1 April 2011.The fair value of the net assets of Jira was deemed to be the same as the carrying value at the date of acquisition with one exception. A contingent liability which could be reliably measured, had a fair value of $5 million at the date of acquisition and a fair value of $2 million at 31 March 2014.

    2.Jira acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Chari on 1 January 2012 when the retained earnings of Chari were $20 million and the balance on Chari’s other reserves was nil. This acquisition resulted in Jira having power over Chari which when exercised affects its return from the investment. Chari has not issued any shares since the acquisition date. The non- controlling interest in Chari was valued at fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair value of one equity share in Chari was $1.75 on 1 January 2012.

    3.Machira concluded that the goodwill on the acquisition of Jira was impaired by 20% on 31 March 2014. No other impairments of goodwill have arisen.

    4.The balance on “other reserves” for both Machira and Jira relate solely to movements in the values of their
    investments in Jira and Chari respectively

    5.Machira issued a debt instrument on 1 April 2013 at its nominal value of $25,000,000. The instrument carries a fixed coupon interest rate of 5.5%, which is payable annually in arrears. The loan is repayable at a premium in 7 years time. Transaction costs of $250,000 were paid on the issue of the debt instrument and charged to administrative expenses. The effective interest rate applicable to this instrument has been calculated at approximately 9.5%. The interest due was paid in March 2014.

    Required:

    Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Machira group as at 31 March 2014.

    There is no point in simply typing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer.

    You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer you are not clear about and then I will explain. (If you were given this as a test question then obviously we do not do your homework for you 🙂 )

    HOWEVER this question cannot possible be asked in Paper FA because there is a sub-subsidiary. It cannot be asked until the Paper FR examination.
