Hi,
Thanks for copying the information to help answer the question but there is still some information required to calculate the goodwill.
The cost of the investment is needed, presumably this will be given elsewhere in the question.
To work out the fair value adjustment we need to know the fair value of the net assets at acquisition, which isn’t included above. We can work out the book value of the net assets as $150,000 (= £120,000 share capital + $30,000 retained earnings) and then we would compare this to the fair value of net assets. The difference is then the fair value adjustment.
If you send over the extra information required then I can fully answer your question. Hope this helps for now.
Thanks
you can get full question at above link page 53 and 54
and thanks for your answer 🙂
Hi,
We are given the fair value of the net assets in the table at the start of the question as $120,000. The share capital is $75,000 (S’s SFP) and retained earnings are $30,000 (same table) at acquisition, which gives us a book value of $105,000 at acquisition. The difference between the book value of $105,000 and $120,000 is the fair value adjustment of $15,000, just a balancing figure.
The cost of the investment was also given in the table at the start as $100,000′ which is then all the info needed to calculate the goodwill.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks
