Dear sir/madam,
I am struggling with the accounting treatment of a bargain purchase when a NCI is applicable.
Given the following information for an 80% acquisition:
FV of the consideration 200
Proportional NCI 60
FV of the net assets (300)
Bargain Purchase (40)
In this scenario, the 40 would go directly into P&L as income instead of on the B/S as negative goodwill.
The NCI of 60 would go under equity. Will this remain under equity, or should this also be released in P&L? I expect it to stay under equity, but I am not 100% sure…
Hi,
The NCI forms part of the NCI at acquisition as in any other acquisition, to which we then adjust for the NCI share of the post-acquisition movement in S’s net assets to get the NCI at the reporting date. This figure then appears within equity.
Thanks
