    Wiley acquired 80% of Coyote on 1 January 20X8. At the date of acquisition Coyote had a building which had a fair value $22 million and a carrying amount of $20 million. The remaining useful life was 20 years. At the year end date of 30 June 20X8 the fair value of the building was $23 million.

    While calculating the Revaluation gain (Post Consolidation), BPP has ignored the depreciation aspect : Means revaluation gain would have been 1.55 ( 23-(22-(22/20*6/12)). But in the solution given as 1 (23-22

    How it will be ?

    Without the question in front of me, this is a guess!

    Is it maybe because Coyote hasn’t recorded the fair value increase in its own records?

    However, I’m leaning towards your solution.

    Is this a past exam question or is it a BPP self-made question?

    Sorry for crashing this post! I’ve been stuck at this question since this morning as well but have moved on because I knew the answer was wrong after I had asked you. But would the accounting treatment be different had the subsidiary NOT recorded the fair value in its own financial statements?

    Here is the full question:
    Wiley acquired 80% of Coyote on 1 January 2008. At the date of acquisition coyote had a building which had a fair value $22 million and a carrying amount of $20 million. The remaining useful life was 20 years. At the year end date of 30 June 2008 the fair value of the building was $23 million.

    Coyote profit for the year to 30 June 2008 was $1.6 million which accrued evenly throughout the year.

    Wiley measures non controlling interest at fair value. At 30 June 2008 it estimated that goodwill in Coyote was impaired by $500,000.

    What is the total comprehensive income attributable to the non controlling interest at 30 June 2008?

    Options:
    A. $250k
    B. $260k
    C. $360k
    D. $400k

    Answer:
    Profit to 30 June 2008 $800,000
    Additional depreciation (2m/20m x 6/12) = (50,000)
    Goodwill impairment ($500,000)
    Revaluation gain $1,000,000
    Total $1,250,000
    NCI share 20% = $250,000

    This question was a BPP self made question- I couldn’t find it anywhere online.

    Okay thanks 🙂 to satheesh90 and mike, apologies if I was rude- have got a bad habit of jumping right into things without thinking.

    Complicated – no problem this time – I appreciate having the question in front of me

    My way … deduct the FULL pup from the associate’s retained earnings, then take our share of those retained earnings to consolidated retained earnings in working W3

    Working W5A – the investment in associate on the statement of financial position will automatically be reduced by out share of that pup

    I thought that I had answered it when I elected for option $260,000

    I don’t know why BPP have not charged depreciation for 6 months on the first revaluation, sorry
