Antelope Co acquired 75% of the shares of Yak Co in 20X1 when the credit balance on the
retained earnings of that company was $40,000. No dividends have been paid since that date.
Yak Co acquired 80% of the shares in Zebra Co in 20X3 when there was a debit balance on the
retained earnings of that company of $3,000. Subsequently $500 was received by Zebra Co and
credited to its retained earnings, representing the recovery of an irrecoverable debt written off
before the acquisition of Zebra's shares by Yak Co. During the year to 31 March 20X4 Yak Co
purchased inventory from Antelope Co for $20,000 which included a profit mark-up of $4,000
for Antelope Co. At 31 March 20X4 one half of this amount was still held in the inventories of
Yak Co. Group accounting policies are to make a full allowance for unrealized intra-group
profits.
It is the group's policy to measure the non-controlling interest at its proportionate share of the
fair value of the subsidiary's net assets.

The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements.
(i) On 1 December 20X1, Joey acquired 30% of the ordinary shares of Margy for a cash
consideration of $600 million when the fair value of Margy’s identifiable net assets was $1,840
million. Joey treated Margy as an associate and has equity accounted for Margy up to 1
December 20X3. Joey’s share of Margy’s undistributed profit amounted to $90 million and its
share of a revaluation gain amounted to $10 million. On 1 December 20X3, Joey acquired a
further 40% of the ordinary shares of Margy for a cash consideration of $975 million and gained
control of the company. The cash consideration has been added to the equity accounted
balance for Margy at 1 December 20X3 to give the carrying amount at 30 November 20X4.
At 1 December 20X3, the fair value of Margy’s identifiable net assets was $2,250 million. At 1
December 20X3, the fair value of the equity interest in Margy held by Joey before the business
combination was $705 million and the fair value of the non-controlling interest of 30% was
assessed as $620 million. The retained earnings and other components of equity of Margy at 1
December 20X3 were $900 million and $70 million respectively. It is group policy to measure
the non-controlling interest at fair value.
(ii) At the time of the business combination with Margy, Joey has included in the fair value of
Margy’s identifiable net assets, an unrecognised contingent liability of $6 million in respect of a
warranty claim in progress against Margy. In March 20X4, there was a revision of the estimate
of the liability to $5 million. The amount has met the criteria to be recognised as a provision in
current liabilities in the financial statements of Margy and the revision of the estimate is
deemed to be a measurement period adjustment.
(iii) Additionally, buildings with a carrying amount of $200 million had been included in the fair
valuation of Margy at 1 December 20X3. The buildings have a remaining useful life of 20 years
at 1 December 20X3. However, Joey had commissioned an independent valuation of the
buildings of Margy which was not complete at 1 December 20X3 and therefore not considered
in the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The valuations were
received on 1 April 20X4 and resulted in a decrease of $40 million in the fair value of property,
plant and equipment at the date of acquisition. This decrease does not affect the fair value of
the non-controlling interest at acquisition and has not been entered into the financial
statements of Margy. Buildings are depreciated on the straight-line basis and it is group policy
to leave revaluation gains on disposal in equity. The excess of the fair value of the net assets
over their carrying value, at 1 December 20X3, is due to an increase in the value of non-
depreciable land and the contingent liability.
(iv) On 1 December 20X3, Joey acquired 80% of the equity interests of Hulty, a private entity, in
exchange for cash of $700 million. Because the former owners of Hulty needed to dispose of
the investment quickly, they did not have sufficient time to market the investment to many
potential buyers. The fair value of the identifiable net assets was $960 million. Joey determined
that the fair value of the 20% non-controlling interest in Hulty at that date was $250 million.
Joey reviewed the procedures used to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed and to measure the fair value of both the non-controlling interest and the
consideration transferred. After that review, Hulty determined that the procedures and
resulting measures were appropriate. The retained earnings and other components of equity of
Hulty at 1 December 20X3 were $300 million and $40 million respectively. The excess in fair
value is due to an unrecognised franchise right, which Joey had granted to Hulty on 1 December
20X2 for five years. At the time of the acquisition, the franchise right could be sold for its
market price. It is group policy to measure the non-controlling interest at fair value.
All goodwill arising on acquisitions has been impairment tested with no impairment being
required

Acoff.
(iv) During the financial year ended 31 March 2016, Acoff sold goods to Braggs amounting to

Additional information
(a) On 1 May 20X7, Rose acquired 70% of the equity interests of Petal, a public limited
company. The purchase consideration comprised cash of $94 million. The fair value of the
identifiable net assets recognised by Petal was $120 million excluding the patent below. The
identifiable net assets of Petal at 1 May 20X7 included a patent which had a fair value of $4
million. This had not been recognised in the financial statements of Petal.
The patent had a remaining term of four years to run at that date and is not renewable. The
retained earnings of Petal were $49 million and other components of equity were $3 million at
the date of acquisition. The remaining excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an
increase in the value of land.
Rose wishes to use the 'full goodwill' method. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in
Petal was $46 million on 1 May 20X7. There have been no issues of ordinary shares since
acquisition and goodwill on acquisition is not impaired. Rose acquired a further 10% interest
from the non-controlling interest in Petal on 30 April 20X8 for a cash consideration of $19
million.
(b) Rose acquired 52% of the ordinary shares of Stem on 1 May 20X7 when Stem's retained
earnings were 220 million dinars. The fair value of the identifiable net assets of Stem on 1 May
20X7 was 495 million dinars. The excess of the fair value over the net assets of Stem is due to
an increase in the value of land. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Stem at 1 May
20X7 was 250 million dinars. Stem is located in a foreign country and operates a mine. The
income of Stem is denominated and settled in dinars. The output of the mine is routinely traded
in dinars and its price is determined initially by local supply and demand. Stem pays 40% of its
costs and expenses in dollars with the remainder being incurred locally and settled in dinars.
Stem's management has a considerable degree of authority and autonomy in carrying
out the operations of Stem and is not dependent upon group companies for finance. Rose
wishes to use the 'full goodwill' method to consolidate the financial statements of Stem. There
have been no issues of ordinary shares and no impairment of goodwill since acquisition. The
following exchange rates are relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements.

(c) Rose has a property located in the same country as Stem. The property was acquired on 1
May 20X7 and is carried at a cost of 30 million dinars. The property is depreciated over 20 years
on the straight-line method. At 30 April 20X8, the property was revalued to 35 million dinars.
Depreciation has been charged for the year but the revaluation has not been taken into account
in the preparation of the financial statements as at 30 April 20X8.
(d) Rose purchased plant for $20 million on 1 May 20X4 with an estimated useful life of six
years. Its estimated residual value at that date was $1.4 million. At 1 May 20X7, the estimated
residual value changed to $2.6 million. The change in the residual value has not been taken into
account when preparing the financial statements as at 30 April 20X8.
Required
