There have been no shares issued by either company since acq and the parent company directors value the NCI on a proportional basis.
What figure appear in the sons sofp under the heading nci
A:
W1 Company Struture: Parent 80%---Subs 20%
if 80% =50000 shares, 20% = 50000/0.8 * 0.2 = 12500 @ $1 = $12500
w2 good will
cost of investment $80000
FV for the NCI @ DOA thus $17500 (value nci on proportional basis)
Share Cap $12500
ret ears nil
other net assets FV $85000
Good will= 80000-12500-85000= $17500
w3 per q P=102,000 S=55000
minus pre aq -------------------------------------
our subs share 20%=55000*0.2 = 11000
thus conl financial statements NCI = 17500+11000=28500
but the answer in MCQ don't have this option and the correct answer at $28000
please clarify thanks
