Hi mike
Just a quick question, the solution does not recognise any impairement loss (other than add back of excess depreciation) in the statement of Income for the 1.2 million, point (i)
Is this because it was pre acq?
If there was a post acq impairement of TNCA in the sub would you recognise an impairement loss expense (if there was no revaluation reserv)
Cheers

.......are you telling me that there was an impairment in the pre-acquisition period? If so then the impaired fair value would be included within the working W2 Goodwill
A post-acquisition impairment would go through the subsidiary's statement of profit or loss, would reduce the post-acquisition retained earnings and that would affect both working W3 Consolidated Retained Earnings and working W4A Nci on the statement of financial position
Ok?
That is perfect, cheers. The impairement was "at the date of acquisition the fair value of the subsidiarys net assets were equal to their carrying amount with the exception of property. This had a fair value of 1.2m below it's carrying amount"... Solution dealth with it in w2 and w3, with only the add back depreciation appearing in profit or loss
