At the date of acquisition the fair value of Malak Co’s net assets was equal to their carrying amount.Nada Co had retained earnings of $16,000 when Bintou Co acquired its 75% shareholding for cash on 1 January 20X9. At the date of acquisition the fair value of Malak Co’s net assets was equal to their<br>carrying amount, with the exception of some plant whose fair value was $10,000 greater than its carrying amount. At this date the plant had a remaining life of five years.

During November 20X9, Malak Co had sold goods to Bintou Co for $12,000 at a mark-up on cost of 20%. Half of these goods were still held by Bintou Co at 31 December 20X9, and the balance payable was still outstanding.Bintou Co measures goodwill and the non-controlling interest using the proportionate method for Malak Co, and the fair value method for Nada Co. The fair value of the non-controlling interest of Nada Co at the date of acquisition was $24,000.<br>5. What is the value of group retained earnings to be included on the consolidated statement of financial position at 31<br>December 20X9?

Hi,

The goodwill/NCI is measured using the full goodwill/fair value method for Nada. When we value it as such the goodwill calculated is that belonging to the parent but also that belonging to the NCI. If there is an impairment to the goodwill then the impairment needs to be shared between both the parent and the NCI, hence why they have taken the parent’s share in the group retained earnings figure.

Thanks

Hi,

You would treat it as any normal loan in the individual accounts of the parent and the subsidiary. These amounts would then be eliminated on consolidation.

Thanks
