Ask the Tutor ACCA FA

Fair Value of NCI

TThenuka3y ago
Dear John, Below is a question from BPP; S has 10million $1 issued ordinary shares. At 1 May 20X9 P purchased 70% of S's $1 ordinary Shares for $8,000,000. At that date S had net assets with a fair value of $8,750,000 and it's share price was $1.20. The Non-Controlling interest is valued using the share price at the date of aquisition. Please be kind enough to elaborate on How to calculate the "Fair-Value of the NCI". Thank You!

The NCO own 30% of the shares which is 3,000,000 shares. The question says that they are to be valued using the share price as the date of acquisition which is given at $1.20, and therefore the fair value is 3M x $1.20.
