    market price of Port Louis and St. Pierre on 1 January 2016 were 51 cents per share
    and 38 cents per share respectively.
    3) Cash payment of 25 cents per share due on 1 July 2020, and
    B. For shares bought in Albion: immediate cash payment of 38 cents per share.

    The following information is relevant:
    (i) Port Louis paid Rs. 100,000 as legal cost for the acquisition of the shares of St. Pierre. This cost was accounted under “Operating expenses”.

    (ii) For many years St. Pierre has been trading some of its product under the brand name of “Avenir”. At the date of acquisition, the directors of Port Louis valued this brand at Rs. 5 million with a remaining useful life of 10 years. The brand is not included in the St. Pierre’s statement of financial position.

    (iii) On 2 January 2016, Port Louis sold an item of plant to St. Pierre at its agreed fair value of Rs. 10 million. Its carrying amount prior to the sale was Rs. 8 million. The gain on disposal was netted against Port Louis’ operating expenses. The estimated remaining life of the plant at the date of sale was five years (full year straight-line depreciation is charged at the end of the year).

    (iv) At the date of acquisition St. Pierre had a contingent liability of Rs. 5 million. This contingent liability remained accounted as at the reporting date.

    (v) At acquisition, the fair value of St. Pierre’s plant exceeded its book value by Rs. 1 million. The plant had a useful life of 5 years.

    (vi) Port Louis policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition and for this purpose the director of Port Louis believe that 38 cents is relevant.

    (vii) Although St. Pierre has been profitable since its acquisition by Port Louis, the market for St. Pierre’s products has been badly hit in recent months and Port Louis has calculated that the goodwill has been impaired by Rs. 3 million as at 31 December 2016.

    (viii) Sales from from St. Pierre to Port Louis throughout the year ended 31 December 2016 had consistently been Rs. 800,000 per month. St. Pierre made a margin of 25% on these sales. Port Louis had Rs. 1.5 million of these goods in inventory as at 31 December 2016. On 31 December 2016 St. Pierre shipped goods with an invoice value of Rs. 800,000, which Port Louis received only on 4 January 2017.

    (ix) On 31 December 2016 Port Louis accounts showed a trade receivable of Rs. 2 million from St. Pierre St. Pierre recorded a payment of Rs. 0.5 million on 31 December 2016 which reached Port Louis’ bank account on 4th of January 2016. Both companies have positive cash balances.
    (x) The cost of capital applicable to Port Louis is 12%. The interest expenses of Port Louis do not include the finance cost on the deferred consideration.

    (xi) Ignore any effect of taxation.
    Required:
    a. Prepare the consolidated income statement for the Port Louis Group for the year-ended 31 December 2016.
    b. Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Port Louis Group as at 31 December 2016.

    “How to proceed with this?”

    I suggest that you download the free course notes on this site and work through from the start of the chapters on group accounts / consolidations and then, when you’ve worked through those 6 (?) chapters you’ll be in a really good position to sort out this question for yourself

    Additionally you seem to be under the mistaken impression that OpenTuition is offering a “We’ll do your homework” service

    Sadly, you’re mistaken!

    You have a go at it for yourself and then, when you hit a brick wall, post again and I’ll try to find a way through that obstruction for you

    OK?
