    Hey,
    I have been watching the podcasts of F7, available here in opentuition. My question is regarding goodwill. I here in Pakistan have learned a method from my teacher for goodwill as:

    Cost of Investment x
    FV of SNA
    reserves and sh Cap/pre x
    Holding x%
    (x)
    Parent’s goodwill x
    FV of Nci (Given) x
    reserves & sh cap/pre x
    holding x%
    (x)
    NCI goodwill x
    Consolidated Goodlwill x
    Impairment review (x)
    Bk value of g’will x

    and here in the lectures it’s quite different there is no computation for Nci’ goodwill and the teacher Mike I suppose who’s very good says there is no concept of NCI g’will.

    I hope you’ll reply soon

    Hi, yes I understand your post

    Where the nci is proportional, there is no goodwill attributable to the nci.

    If the nci is valued on a full, fair value basis, then there IS goodwill attributable to them.

    However, the layout I have shown is the layout which Steve Scott at F7 and Graham Holt at P2 expect you to use

    So if I use this format I’d be getting full marks for goodwill?

    If you use my format, yes.

    I cannot comment on your lecturer’s method
