    Hi teacher!

    Could you please explain the method of calculation when parent issued some of its own shares in exchange for the shares in the Subsidiary.

    I compare two examples and can’t understand the right method
    In comprehensive example (lecture #9) we made W2 (Goodwill) calculation.
    We calculated FV of net assets at the date of acquisition (share capital+share premium+pre-acquisition RE+FV adjustment). We do not implement any parent’s share to FV of net assets

    However, In mini exercises, topic 10 (goodwill) question #3, we calculated P’s of net assets.

    (On 1 November, 2009 Patricija acquired 60% of the 4 million $ equity shares of Sergejus in a share exchange of two shares is Patricija for
    three shares in Sergejus. At the date of acquisition shares in Patricija had a market value of $6 each.
    Sergejus profit for the year ended 30 April, 2010 was $3 million and retained earnings at that date were $6.5 million. At the date of
    acquisition, the fair values of Sergejus‘ assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of an item of plant which had a fair
    value of $2 million is excess of its carrying amount.
    The non-controlling interest is to be accounted for at fair value. For this purpose, the fair value of the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling
    interest is $1.5 million, and goodwill is not impaired as at 30 April, 2010)

    Answers:
    NA @ doa
    Shares 4,000,000
    Ret ears b/f 3,500,000
    Ret ears 6 months 1,500,000
    fv adjustment, plant 2,000,000
    total: 11,000,000
    P’s share 60% 6,600,000

    Why do we use 60% and do not use it in our comprehensive example

    Hi Pavel

    Let me try setting out the answer a different way.

    If the goodwill attributable to the nci were $1.5m and their share of the fair valued net assets is 40% x $11m = $4.4m then the value of the nci investment is $4.4 + $1.5 = $5.9m

    And we know the cost of our investment is $9.6m from the printed solution.

    So the total “worth” of the subsidiary is $9.6 + $5.9 = $15.5

    And the fair value of the subsidiary’s net assets at date of acquisition are $11m

    Therefore goodwill is $15.5 – $11 = $4.5

    But how much of that goodwill belongs to us and how much to the nci

    The question tells us that the nci attributable goodwill is $1.5 therefore ours is the remaining $3

    And surely that’s the same as the printed solution!

    When a question tells you the value of nci attributable goodwill, calculate it as being their share of subsidiary fair valued net assets (in our case it’s 40% x $11m) and then add on the goodwill (in our case it’s $1.5M)

    That means we now know the “worth” of the subsidiary and can compare that with fair valued net assets to arrive at the overall figure for goodwill

    Does that make it any clearer?

    Teacher, thanks a lot!

    There are so many “issues” and I’ve just forgotten about 3 posible cases, about nci fair value :

    • goodwill attributable to the NCI on acquisition was $x, or
    • the NCI investment was estimated at $x, or
    • the market value of the subsidiary shares immediately before acquisition was $x

    and of course it could be measured on proportional basis.

    Thank you!
