LLau10y ago
Hi Mike, For question 1b) prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for premier, may I know for working part iii) under goodwill, why is the asset(equity) of Stanford at September 2010 (9500), should it be 5000 based on the shares or at least a positive 9500?

Hi It IS positive! It's shown in brackets because it's being deducted from the combined value of the consideration and the nci The two figures below 9,500 are this year's profits since acquisition and the fair value adjustment where the asset has a fair value lower than the carrying value. These two figures are deducted Personally, I always show the assets at date of acquisition as a positive and then, having added up that inset column, I deduct the total from the consideration and nci total OK?
