For ratio qn what did u guys write for part b 4 markslook at cash flows not profits. Profits can be manipulated
look at the depreciation technique, some companies may use straight line nd some reducing balance this could lead to a difference in plant and machine valuation
whether they revalue their land every year
I don’t remember the last one that I wrote.
Hi All. Can anybody answer my question? : In part B, while counting the consolidated gppdwill. I took:
– Consideration with shares
– Contingent Consideration
-NCI
then less Net assets 22000 given in the question (without 10000 shares at acquisition)Did I do it right? I thought that these 10000 shares included in the net assets of 22000.

Idk about the share adjustment..for fv of subsidiary I took the given amt plus fair value adjustment which was i think 2.4m
The given amount 22000 + 2400? I wrote the same. But my mates say that I had to deduct the 10000 share capital (the figure at acquisition) and 22000 (also 2400) from the consideration. and as a result, there will be a negative goodwill.
In my opinion part B was OK, excluding some strange things with option, def. consideration and possibly finance lease, becase the last one was newly showed in TB, I have never seen the same questions before in studies… The main problem was lack of time for “bla-bla-bla” Q2.
Part A was disgusting in some questions, the first two I chose randomly but some , for instance, ROCE, NRV, CONSOLIDATION was perfectBut does marker think about that?) Waiting for 18th Jan…
You are right (I hope so at least!). Net assets by definition is = A – L = E
To then further deduct the share capital is double counting it.
You probably considered 10000 share capital. I mean you wrote Consideration less net assets, FV adj (2400) and 10000 share capital at acquisition. Am I right?
Ithought that, the net assets 22000 includes that 10000 share capital in it.and did not considered share capital at alland get 6200 positiv goodwill
I calculated as:
Net assets at acq. = Net assets + Profit for the year pre acq. + f.v. adj and may be something else can’t recall
can someone help me know the link between the sept 2015 and dec 2015 questions

The carrying value at the date of acquisition was given. Not at the previous year end. Adding profit would just be double counting.
ACCA F7 is quite hard and this Dec sitting is something else, also the verb use is very important for example the 30 mark Question I think there are a lot of easy marks to pick up for example taxation, deferred tax, just coping inventory, trade receivable etc the putting the figures in your preforma the SPl& OCI and SFP, if you show your working for PPE,d note loan and finance lease all will be mark, mere listing issus of shares and loan note under financing activities cash flow will earn you marksunder 5 marks question this can get you through the 50 % mark. A study of ACCA marking guide of past questions will reveal all this. Same goes for question 1 and Question 2. Best of luck everybody. Cheers
Igor: as discussed above, I don’t think there was any need to also deduct retained earnings as they would have formed part of the net assets (given).
I think I got positive goodwill of $6.2m

I didn’t pick this option because you don’t normally depreciate land anyway. This could really be grant relating to an asset. Or simply classified as govt assistance
I have to say, many adjustments came up in Q3 for which I had not come across them in that fashion before, or else, there was so much information that it all got rather confusion. I took a real gamble with the intragroup adjustment since I figured that the examiner would not have included the prior trading relationship between the parent and the subsidiary for no reason. In light of this, I calculated a weighted average per month for the year and recalculated how much of the ‘intergroup’ adjustment related to the period after acquisition. Hey, it felt right at the time! This is my third time at this exam and I found this really hard! Mcq’s??? Really??!!! Maybe I overthink things!
