    Johanna acquired 100% of Sidney on 1 January 20X4, paying $5 million cash, including
    $200,000 professional fees. Johanna also agreed to pay $10 million on 1 January 20X6.
    Johanna Co has a cost of capital of 10%
    Identify the components to be included within the calculation of goodwill for the
    acquisition of Sidney Co for the year ended 31 December 20X4.
    Consideration
    1 cash consideration of 5 m
    2 cash consideration of 4.8 m
    3 deferred cash consideration of 8.3 m
    4 deferred cash consideration of 9.1 m

    The correct answer is 2 & 3

    But according to me it should be 1 & 4
    1 because professional fees can not be reduced while calculating the consideration &
    4 because PV of deferred cash consideration as increased by the interest charge of one year from 8.3 m * (1.1) = 9.3 M

    Please explain

    Hi,

    It is definitely number 3 as the present value of the $10 million is 10m/1.1^2. I’m not too convinced by them saying the cash consideration is $4.8 million when we are clearly paying $5 million.

    Thanks
