At 1 April 20X8, the machinery had a remaining life of three years. Depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
    Since acquisition, Plank Co has sold goods to Strip Co totalling $39m Strip Co had one quarter of these goods in inventory at 31 December 20X8. During the year, Plank Co also sold goods to Arch Co for $26m all of which Arch Co held in inventory at 31 December 20X8. All of these goods had a mark-up on cost of 30%.

    Hello Sir/Ma’am
    there is a Excess of Fair value of machinery of Subsidiary at Acquisition by 8m . I added the prorate depreciation on it to COS and enter ‘Gain on revaluation of machinery’ in “other comprehensive income” of SOPL accordingly. however sir in the answer only the depreciation entry was entered. There were no entry on revaluation or on increase in value of machinery by 8m. Kindly clarify why please

    they simply added the value of OCI I.e 2800+3000 and didn’t take account of 8000 at all

    Hi,

    This 8,000 adjustment is a fair value adjustment under IFRS 3 and not a revaluation under IAS 16. Under IAS 16 then the gain goes through OCI but when it is part of a fair value exercise on consolidation of a subsidiary then the adjustment is part of the goodwill calculation. This is dealt with on the SFP and not as part of the SPLOCI.

    Thanks
