    Hello
    The question

    The carrying amounts of the Rays plc net assets were approximately equal to their fair
    values.

    The terms of the acquisition were that Sword plc would issue 3 new share in Sword plc for
    every 7 shares acquired in Rays plc and would pay $1 on 30 April, 2015 for every share
    acquired.

    The Rays plc shares had a market value as at date of acquisition of $1 .80. Sword plc has
    decided to measure the non-controlling interest at fair value with the Rays plc share price
    being a reasonable indication of fair value

    At 31 December, 2014 the retained earnings of Sword plc and Rays plc were $690,000 and
    $980,000 respectively. Goodwill is to be impaired by $20 and Sword plc’s cost of capital is
    6%

    At what amount should the non-controlling interest be shown in the consolidated statement
    of financial position for the Sword plc group as at 31 December, 2014? (Answer to the
    nearest $000)

    The answer

    25% X 1,500,000 X 1.80 = 675,000
    25% X (980,000 — 940,000) = 10,000
    25%x(20,000)= ( 5,000)
    nci at 31 December, 2014 680,000

    I have calculated this part

    25% X 1,500,000 X 1.80 = 675,000
    25% X (980,000 — 940,000) = 10,000

    but i don’t know this part
    25%x(20,000)= ( 5,000)

    i have tried to relate to the lectures but still no avail.

    Is it not the NCI share of the impairment?

    I think the online question itself has a mistake: Goodwill is to be impaired by $20
    needs to be replaced by 20000. And deduced NCI share.right?
