Forums › CIMA Forums › P&L consolidation impairment in goodwill
Hi again
I’m not sure if I have understand the difference using fair value methods and proport share on net asset when there’s an impairment of goodwill
Under Fair value method, the impairment of goodwill is deducted from Subsidiary profit and taking into account when calculating the NCI
Under proportionate share of net assets, it’s not deducted from Subsidiary. You have to add up profit P+S and the deduct from the total the impairment. The NCI will be calculated over the profit of subsidiary (without deducting impairment). But it will affect the part attributable to parent
Example
P owns 90% S. Profit P=1000 profit S=100. Impairment goodwill=50
Fair value
Profit P=1000
profit S=100-50=50
consolidated profit 1050
NCI=10%50=5
Attributable to parent=1045
Proportionate share net assets
Profit P=1000
profit S=100
consolidated profit 1100-50=1050
NCI=10%100=10
Attributable to parent=1040
Am I correct?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
No, you’ve understood it perfectly correctly. Under the full goodwill method we need to deduct the impairment from S’s profits so as to give the NCI their share of the impairment.
It’s tough to understand but you understand it well.
Thanks
Thanks to you. Muchas gracias!!!
De nada!
