    Current liabilities 27,800 11,700
    Total Equity and Liabilities 989,300 532,700

    The following information is relevant:

    1. Henman bought 75% of the equity shares and 40% of the preference shares of Murray Ltd at par on 1st July 2001 for £250,000 when the latter’s retained profits stood at £150,000.

    2. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of Murray’s buildings was £50,000 greater than the book value. At that date the buildings had a remaining life of 40 years.

    3. The non-controlling interest is to be valued at the fair value of £106,000 as at 1st July 2001

    4. Trading between the two companies was rife, and during 2003 Henman had purchased goods from Murray ltd for £60,000. Of this, half was in stock at the balance sheet date. Murray had generated a 150% mark up on cost on these goods. Included in Henman’s trade payables is a balance of £3,000 due to Murray. However there is cash in transit at the year-end of £500, and Murray’s trade receivables includes £3,500 in relation to this debt.

    5. Goodwill has been reviewed and is not considered to be impaired.

    Required: Prepare the statement of financial position of Henman ltd at 30 June 2003.

    This is my working so far but I cannot get the correct answer.

    Net Assets @ acquisition @ reporting
    Ord shares 100000 100000
    Retained profit 150000 351000
    Adjustment 50000 50000
    Depreciation 2500
    Unrealised profit 18000
    Preference Shares 50000 50000
    Total 350000 571500

    Difference = 221500

    Goodwill (THIS IS CORRECT)
    FV invested by parent 250000
    NCI @ acq 106000
    Less net assets @ acq (350000)
    Goodwill @ reporting 6000

    NCI @ reporting (INCORRECT)
    NCI@ acq 106000
    Share of difference 55375
    (.25*221500)
    NCI @ reporting 161375

    Please can someone explain where I went wrong, this is the only method I know. Apologies for the formatting it looks normal till I press submit!
