    The net assets of Y are $215,500

    The consideration paid by X is (75% x 100,000) 75,000 x ($2 + $1.75) = 281,250

    Therefore the goodwill is (281,250 + 82,000) – 215,500 = 147,750

    In future, please start a new thread if you are asking a question on a different topic.

    A provision can be current or non-current – it depends on what it relates to.

    I don’t know where you found this question, but it could not possibly be asked in this way in the exam. (Also ‘debt ratio’ is not a standard term and would not be used in the exam without it being defined)

    The equity is equal to the total assets less the total liabilities.

    Sorry for this sir. 🙁
    The main problem is provision. The question didn’t tell about the type of provision.So what i have to do with the provision?
