    On the acquisition date, the retained earnings of X Ltd stood at $ 110,000 and share capital was $ 20,000. Y Ltd had developed a brand which has not been recognized in its financial statements. The board members of X Ltd are of the opinion that the brand, which has a fair value of $175,000 and a remaining term of two years to go as from the date of acquisition, should be accounted. The carrying value of Furniture and Fittings was in excess by $ 160,000 on the acquisition date. Furniture and Fittings had a lifetime of four years at the acquisition date. Included within the intangible assets of Y Ltd (at the acquisition and reporting date) is goodwill of $ 30,500 that arose on the purchase of the trade and assets of a sole-trader business.

    Should we account for the goodwill please? and if yes which workings?

    Do we have to less in w2 under reporting and acquisition date??

    The goodwill is not recognised in the group accounts and its value is removed from the net assets working.
