2 questions:
Firstly, if calculating goodwill on a full basis, do you calculate the exchange difference on the total figure for goodwill then take the NCI% and group% from this total (option a) or should you work out the exchange difference for the group goodwill and NCI goodwill separately based on their goodwill amount (option B) ? example:
cost of investment 40000 euros, FV of NCI at acquistion 7500 euros, net assets at acquistion 30000 euros
full goodwill 17500 euros translated at closing rate (5) = $3500
parents (80%) share of gwill 16000 euros @ CR (5) = $3200
NCI (20%) share of gwill 1500 euros @ CR (5) = $300
17500 euros at opening rate (4) = $4375 making exchange loss of $875
Group share of exc. loss £700, NCI share $175 (option a)or Group 16000 euros @ opening rate (4) = $4000 less $3200 therefore exchange loss of $800 and NCI 1500 euros @ OR = £375 less $300 giving exchange loss of $75 (option b)
Secondly, workings for NCI:
1. NCI at acquistion at opening rate + NCI share of post acq profits for the year at average rateor
2. NCI at acquisition + NCI share of post acq profits both at closing rate
Thanks in advance

The total goodwill at the closing rate goes in the SOFP. If goodwill is impaired, then the amount of the impairment is translated at the average rate in your exchange gain/loss calculation.
For the NCI, FV at rate at acquisition + post acq share retained earnings at average rate.
May 7, 2013 at 6:06 pm #124812there will be an excgange difference on the retranslation of the goodwill – and that has to be split between the parent and the NCI in the normal proportion that they share profits and losses
