    At the date of acquisition, Pyramid conducted a fair value exercise on Square’s net
    assets which were equal to their carrying amounts with the following exceptions:
    • An item of plant had a fair value of $3 million above its carrying amount. At the
    date of acquisition it had a remaining life of five years. Ignore deferred tax
    relating to this fair value.
    • Square had an unrecorded deferred tax liability of $1 million, which was
    unchanged as at 31 March 20X2.
    Pyramid’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of
    acquisition. For this purpose a share price for Square of $3.50 each is representative
    of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

    MY QUERY

    • Square had an unrecorded deferred tax liability of $1 million, which was
    unchanged as at 31 March 20X2.

    Since this DTL would be paid off a year later or even after that, we should compute its present value and a relevant finance charge.

    But in the solution (given in Kaplan kit), they have only mentioned DTL as noncurrent liability at its fair value.

    Am i missing something? Do they just mean its the fair value at date of acquisition, use it to compute goodwill and then forget about it… But it’s still a liability that will be dealt with one year later or even beyond that… It has an implicit interest rate within it….

    DTLs are not discounted and they are treated as non current components.

    Also, nowhere is stated that they are settled in the coming year.
