    This exam was quite tricky, because in long questions the adjustments took time to get back to the solution. But i attempt all with a missing part is last 5 marks question & I found my Goodwill positive as well. Hope to get passed in F7 Inshallah

    Does anyone have more insight into question 2? Seems many others found the wording confusing about what it actually wanted myself included. Calculated Roce for each year for continued operation only, so from top section listed as continue operating 2016 I used the profit before tax given, added back finance costs/ share holder equity + non current liabilities. For 2016 did the same except took away the 9m from capital employed that was for the discontinued part.

    Part b I then went on to calculate, gross profit margin, operating margin, gearing and current ratio, annoyingly there weren’t any big differences to assess between each year except for Roce and that was because of the discontinued operation which lead to higher Roce 2016 ,I calcled Roce again with discontinued back in capital employed and it was then it was a lower Roce in 2016. Done a paragraph on Profitability, liquidity and gearing, waffling on then a conclusion that no going concern issues despite decrease in Roce and also that need more info about rest of industry to draw a conclusion on the drop in Roce.

    Purp was the following in my opinion.

    There was sales to sub of $2.43 million at a mark up or cost plus of 35%. So Purp = 2.43 million x 35/135 = 0.63 million or $630000 which if I recall correctly was sold by parent so came off parents retained earnings.

    As far as I rememver, It wasnt sales, it was cost to parent
    If they had given sales then its ok to divide 135 and multible by 35
    But here since only the cost was given it should be 2.43* 35/100
    Hope I make sense

    Anyone have any idea about the deferred tax asset in qs 1?
    would it have any effect on goodwill calculations? as its only related to parent

    Did you make the total post-acquisition profits to be -1,200?

    yes, I had the same figure
    All I did was sub’s share capital, retained earinings, less fv adjustment and add depreciation, and also deduct 200 at consolidation date
    I completely igored the deferred tax asset as i thought its related to parent

    How did u arrive this figure?

    MCQ were OK in general but they did through a lot of consolidation there.

    Question 1 was not a difficult question, although I didn’t know what to do with that 1.2m deferred tax, so I just ignored it and I got a positive goodwill too.

    Question 2 I left it for the end and of course I ran of time and I managed to calculate roce in part a for 2016 only, but I’m not sure I used the correct numbers. Part b I calculated GPM, NPM, Net asset turnover and Current Ratio, but ran out of time for the interpretation.

    Question 3 was very time consuming but I think I did well. My sofp did not balance though and I didnt attempt part c.

    Bottom line, the exam was not very difficult but 3 hours is not enough for the amount of work you are required to do.

    I went there very confident but now I just hope I did enough to pass!

    It was cost to daughter, so it was sales, I think.

    Anyone remember the question about non-profit firms, MCQ? I do not remember and do not understand.

    You should take deferred tax asset in fv adjustments for goodwill only, then forget about it

    You were correct in ignoring it. It is not amortized either. Pre acquisition were 7100, then deduct them from 5600 retained earnings in 2016

    Cost was ($2.43m/1.35) = $1.8m so total profit ($2.43m-$1.8m) = $630K

    There were no any fv adjustments for subsidiary, only one where you add depreciation

    Qustion says something like this
    35% mark up on cost
    and they mentioned the cost to parent is 2.43
    which means if the cost is 100 they would sell 135, profit is 35
    if they had mentioned parent sold 2.43 then u are right
    but here they mentioned 2.43 is only the cost to parent

    I deducted 6 moths of it from retained earnings, cant remember the figure now, as well as PURP

    I think the right treatment in the net assets was to deduct fv adjustment and add fv depreciation but I deducted instead and got a post acquisition loss…

    you are considering 2.43 as sales which means cost plus profit
    but qustion says 2.43 is only cost
