    Hi can you please explain how to calculate the equity investments in W2 (net assets) and also the other equity components in the SOFP. Thank you!

    On 1 January 2015, Palistar acquired 75% of Stretcher’s equity shares by means of an immediate
    share exchange of two shares in Palistar for five shares in Stretcher. The fair value of Palistar and
    Stretcher’s shares on 1 January 2015 were $4·00 and $3·00 respectively. In addition to the share
    exchange, Palistar will make a cash payment of $1·32 per acquired share, deferred until 1 January
    2016. Palistar has not recorded any of the consideration for Stretcher in its financial statements.
    Palistar’s cost of capital is 10% per annum.
    The summarised statements of financial position of the two companies as at 30 June 2015 are:
    Palistar Stretcher
    $’000 $’000
    Assets
    Non-current assets (note (ii))
    Property, plant and equipment 55,000 28,600
    Financial asset equity investments (note (v)) 11,500 6,000
    66,500 34,600
    Current assets
    Inventory (note (iv)) 17,000 15,400
    Trade receivables (note (iv)) 14,300 10,500
    Bank 2,200 1,600
    33,500 27,500
    Total assets 100,000 62,100
    Equity and liabilities
    Equity
    Equity shares of $1 each 20,000 20,000
    Other component of equity 4,000 nil
    Retained earnings – at 1 July 2014 26,200 14,000
    – for year ended 30 June 2015 24,000 10,000
    74,200 44,000
    Current liabilities (note (iv)) 25,800 18,100
    Total equity and liabilities 100,000 62,100
    The following information is relevant:
    (i) Stretcher’s business is seasonal and 60% of its annual profit is made in the period 1
    January to 30 June each year.
    (ii) At the date of acquisition, the fair value of Stretcher’s net assets was equal to their carrying
    amounts with the following exceptions:
    The fair value of Stretcher’s investments was $7 million (see also note (v)).
    Stretcher owned the rights to a popular mobile (cell) phone game. At the date of acquisition,
    a specialist valuer estimated that the rights were worth $12 million and had an estimated
    remaining life of five years.
    (iii) Following an impairment review, consolidated goodwill is to be written down by $3 million
    as at 30 June 2015.
    (iv) Palistar sells goods to Stretcher at cost plus 30%. Stretcher had $1·8 million of goods in its
    inventory at 30 June 2015 which had been supplied by Palistar. In addition, on 28 June
    2015, Palistar processed the sale of $800,000 of goods to Stretcher, which Stretcher did
    not account for until their receipt on 2 July 2015. The in-transit reconciliation should be
    achieved by assuming the transaction had been recorded in the books of Stretcher before
    the year end. At 30 June 2015, Palistar had a trade receivable balance of $2·4 million due
    from Stretcher which differed to the equivalent balance in Stretcher’s books due to the sale
    made on 28 June 2015.
    (v) At 30 June 2015, the fair values of the financial asset equity investments of Palistar and
    Stretcher were $13·2 million and $7·9 million respectively.
    (vi) Palistar’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition.
    At 1 January 2015, this was valued at $15 million.

    This question is from the Kaplan RK Q.410- Palistar

    Hi,

    The group other components of equity is calculated in the same fashion as the group retained earnings figure. This is 100% of P’s OCE plus P’s % of the post-acquisition movement in S’s OCE.

    The equity investments are included at fair value in the net assets working in the group accounts.

    Have a go with the above information and see how you get on and let me know if you’re still struggling.

    Thanks
