Goodwill mini exercise - Question 5 Panda & Sloth

CCandy10y ago
Hi Mike, I got all other figures except: I am unsure what to do with dividend (8)? Also Please explain composition of the nci investment valuation 76,800,000? Question 5 Panda & Sloth On 1 May, 2009 Panda purchased 80% of Sloth’s 120 million $1 equity shares. The acquisition was through a share exchange of three shares in Panda for every five shares in Sloth. The market prices of shares in Panda and Sloth at 1 May, 2009 were $6 and $3.20 respectively. ?????Retained earnings at 1 November, 2008 Profit/ (loss) for the year ended 31 October, 2009 Dividend for year end 31 October, 2009 Panda Sloth 40 152 47.2 21 – (8) The fair values of Sloth’s net assets at date of acquisition were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of an item of plant which had a carrying value of $12 million and a fair value of $17 million. In addition, Sloth owns, but has not previously recognised, a domain name with a value of $20 million Panda has credited the whole of the dividend it received from Sloth to investment income. The non-controlling interest in Sloth is to be valued at fair value as at date of acquisition. For this purpose, the Sloth share price at that date Mini Exercises – Questions can be taken to be indicative of the fair value of the non-controlling interest’s investment. The goodwill in Sloth has not suffered any impairment Thanks Mike

Nci = 20% x 120,000,000 x $3.20 The only effect that the dividend has is on the Consolidated Retained Earnings in working W3. We're not asked for working W3!
