Can you plz help me with this question
On 31st july 20×7 P aquired 60% of the 100,000 $1 ordinary shares of S for a sum of $240,000. S had acc profit at 1st jan 20×7 of $200,000 and during the year to 31st dec 20×7 made a profit of $60,000
What is the fig for purchased goodwill attributable to the equity owner of P that should appear at 31st dec 20×7 in consolidated statement of financial position
A. 60,000
B. 39,000
C. 95,000
D.24,000
Mine ans is 60,000 but its actual ans is 39,000….why?Ok lets see
The profit made of 60,000 is for the whole year, so if we divide it per months it would be 5000 per month and since P acquired S on 31st of July so thats 7 months of profit thats pre-acquisiton which makes the profit account total 200.000 + (7*5000)=235000Since they acquire 60 percent of shares so
60 percent of 235000= 141000
So goodwill is
60,000 shares plus 141000 = 201,000 and subtract this from the consideration paid of 240,000 gives us 39000
Makes Sense?? hopefully@hazzy said:

Makes Sense?? hopefullyHey, can you explain why you took the 60 percent? …Coz from what I know, goodwill is calculated as Contribution Paid + Fair Value of NCI – Net Assets of Subs. at Acquisition…
Firstly, I assume the value of NCI has been omitted from the question, otherwise I don’t know how one could go about it. Anyway, if the answer is 39,000, I’ll assume that value of NCI was given as 134,000 (backward working).
Now: Acc. Profit (Retained Earnings) at acquisition will be, as shown by HazE: 235000
Add the Ordinary share capital to get total net assets at acquisition: 235000 + 100,000 = 335,000Answer:
Contribution – 240,000
ADD NCI —– 134,000 (Momena, check if NCI was given in the origianl q.?)
DEDUCT Net Assets at Acquisition – (335,000)
Goodwill —– 39,000I may be wrong, but I believe this is how we go about it
