Stress acquired 100% of the equity share capital of Full on 1 October 20X7 when Full’s
retained earnings stood at $300,000. Full’s statement of financial position at 30 September
20X9 was as follows:
Assets Equity and reserves
Property, plant and equipment 1,800 Share capital 1,600
Current assets 1,000 Retained earnings 500
Current liabilities 700
–––––– ––––––
2,800 2,800
–––––– ––––––
On 1 October 20X7 the fair value of land included within Full’s non?current assets was
$400,000 greater than the carrying amount. Stress had non?current assets at 30 September
20X9 at a carrying amount of $2.2m.
What is the total amount for non?current assets that will appear on the consolidated
statement of financial position at 30 September 20X9?Ans- Non?current assets = $1,800,000 + $2,200,000 + fair value adjustment 400,000 = $4,400,000.
Sir my doubt is that why isn’t goodwill considered?
September 2, 2022 at 3:23 pm #664945Although goodwill is an intangible non-current asset, from what you have typed it is not possible to calculate the goodwill arising on consolidation because we do not know how much Stress had paid.
