Sir I just wanted to check for calculating goodwill
 We do
1)Purchase cosideration
 Add  NCI ( X% of FVNA)
 Less FVNA
 If fvna is given.
2)Purchase consideration
 Add NCI (x% of fvna or directly given in question)
Less FVNA(if fvna not given)
 Capital
 Add RE
 Add OCE
I wanted to know if there is any other method as well and how we would know which method to use how it will be asked in the exam.
Thanks
Hi,
 1. Partial goodwill method, means NCI do not have goodwill apportionment. Q will said is proportionate. When do impairment need to calculate notional goodwill
 2. Full goodwill method, NCI got goodwill portion. Q will give FV of NCI. Easier for impairment as comparing like to like
Hi, did Fairy Gladys answer your question?
How will you know which to use? The examiner will leave you in no doubt which method to use!
