    Mini exercise on goodwill, its in the opentuition notes.

    But i understand it now. I think. Hehe

    Its an option on how to calculate the nci cost of investment, either fair value or share of net asset. So , when market price of S’s share before acquisition is given in the question, it is calculated using the fair value option.

    Correct me if im wrong 😉

    Yes, but the examiner will say something like “the directors of the parent value the nci on a full, fair value basis. For these purposes, the value of the shares in the subsidiary shall be taken to be the fair value”

    OK?
