f7 questions

It's the same as any fair value adjustment made on the occasion of the acquisition of a subsidiary. This time, it's a fair value adjustment to the value of a non-current liability (it's more normal in F7 exams for the fair value adjustments to be applied to the values of non-current assets) This time we have a non-current liability that had a carrying value of $Zero - it hadn't been recognised by the pre-acquired subsidiary - and is revalued to $1 million The effect of this is a reduction in the fair value of the subsidiary's net assets as at the date of acquisition - thus pushing up the value of the goodwill - and the corresponding increase in the consolidated non-current assets I believe that that answers your question :-)

No, sorry. This is unfair on anyone wishing to know about December 2012 question but not wanting to know about June 2012 question Whenever you have a question / post that is not DIRECTLY relevant to earlier posts, then please start a new thread So I'm going to ask you to re-post this question about the December 2012 exam
