    Hi
    Whenever we have the bargain purchase (Negative Goodwill) we take it to the P&L as a gain instead of recording it as an intangible asset in group SFP, i want to ask that what will be the journal entry for this bargain purchase?

    Thanks

    (Using made up figures)

    Dr Net Assets of sub 100
    Cr Investment in sub 80
    Cr P&L 20

    But I wouldn’t write group journals in the exam
