    On 1 July 2008, Olympus Ltd acquired all the shares of Delphi Ltd. On this date, the equity of Delphi Ltd comprised the following balances:

    Share Capital $180 000
    General Reserve 20 000
    Plant Maintenance Reserve 30 000
    Retained Earnings 72 000

    At acquisition date, all the identifiable assets and liabilities of Delphi Ltd were recorded at amounts equal to fair value except for:
    Carrying Fair
    Amount Value
    Land $50 000 $75 000
    Buildings (cost $75 000) 55 000 57 000
    Inventory 45 000 60 000
    Plant (cost $260 000) 182 000 190 000
    Delivery Truck (cost $90 000) 36 000 38 000
    Office Furniture (cost $21 000) 16 500 16 500

    At 1 July 2008, Delphi Ltd had recorded goodwill of $12 000 arising from a prior period business combination. Any adjustments for differences between carrying amounts at acquisition date and fair values are made on consolidation. Any valuation reserves created are transferred on consolidation to retained earnings when assets are sold or fully consumed or lost.

    Delphi Ltd registered a patent on 26 June 2008 but did not recognize it as an asset. Olympus Ltd believed the fair value of the patent was $45 000. The patent is legally enforceable for a period of 15 years. On 1 January 2012, Delphi Ltd sold the patent for $30 000.

    At 1 July 2008, Delphi Ltd was involved in a lawsuit brought against it by a customer for damages suffered as a result of poor quality goods supplied. Lawyers for Olympus Ltd advised that the court is likely to find in favour of the customer and likely damages may amount to $30 000. After a prolonged court case, damages of $28 000 were paid in full settlement on 3 May 2012.

    The plant had a further five year life at acquisition date and was expected to be used evenly over that time. Buildings have a further 10 years of useful life. The delivery truck which was expected to have a further four year useful life at acquisition date was sold on 1 April 2011 for 28 000. During the year ended 30 June 2009 all inventory, on hand at acquisition date, was sold. As a result of the annual impairment test Delphi Ltd wrote its Goodwill down by $5 000 on 30 June 2012.

    In the financial year ended 30 June 2011 Delphi Ltd transferred $10 000 from retained earnings on hand at acquisition date to the General Reserve.

    Additional information:

    (a) On 1 July 2011, Delphi Ltd had on hand inventory worth $36 000, transferred from Olympus Ltd in June 2011. The inventory cost Olympus Ltd $28 000. This entire inventory was sold to external parties in the year ended 30 June 2012.
    (b) On 1 April 2009, Olympus Ltd sold inventory which cost $27 000 to Delphi Ltd for $25 000. Delphi Ltd treated this item as plant with a five year useful life.
    (c) During the year ended 30 June 2012, Delphi Ltd sold inventory to Olympus Ltd for $54 000 this being at cost plus 20% markup. Of this inventory 80% had been sold to external customers by 30 June 2012.
    (d) During the year ended 30 June 2012, Olympus Ltd sold inventory costing $18 000 to Delphi Ltd for $27 000. Two thirds of this inventory was sold to external customers for $21 600.
    (e) In May 2010 Olympus Ltd lent $35 000 at an annual interest rate of 4% to Delphi Ltd. Delphi Ltd has as yet made no repayments on the loan.
    (f) Olympus Ltd rents surplus space in its warehouse to Delphi Ltd for an annual rental charge of $40 000.
    (g) On 1 October 2011 Delphi Ltd sold an item of plant to Olympus Ltd which regarded the item as inventory. The plant had a carrying amount of $11 000 and was sold for $14 000. The item was subsequently sold to an external party in May 2012.
    (h) On 1 January 2012 Olympus Ltd sold an item of office furniture to Delphi Ltd for $5 000. The furniture had a carrying amount at the date of sale of $4 500. Both companies depreciate office furniture at 20% per annum.
    (i) The gains on Available-for-Sale Financial Assets for the year ended 30 June 2012 were $6 700 (Olympus Ltd) and $1 900 (Delphi Ltd). There were no other movements during the year.
    (j) The tax rate is 30%.

    Where’s this from … and what do you expect me to do with it? It looks like an exam question, but it’s not P2!

    When you say “the preliminary calculations are fine”, presumably you have calculated figures for goodwill, consolidated reserves, non-controlling interest etc.

    The question requirement is asking for double-entry bookkeeping journal entries. I suggest you open T accounts for Cost of Control, Combined Retained Earnings, Non-Controlling Interest.

    then enter the figures for the question into these accounts and see where you get to from there. You apparently know the closing balances on these accounts. You need to sit down and ask yourself what these closing balances represent, and then enter figures into the T accounts to reflect your impression of what the closing balances represent

    It’s a terribly old-fashioned way of going about a consolidation exercise. We USED to teach it the “T Account Way” way back in history at Financial Training, but I’ve not done a T Account consolidation since before you were born ( probably )

    Give it a go and see how it comes out
