SCENARIO: On 1 January 20X5, Horizon Renewables (a public utility) acquired 80% of the equity share capital of WindTech Innovations (a tech startup) for $5,000,000. Non-controlling interest (NCI) is measured at fair value, which was $1,100,000 at acquisition. WindTech's net assets at acquisition were $4,500,000 (which included a fair value uplift on patents of $500,000). During the year, Horizon sold turbines to WindTech for $800,000 at a 25% mark-up on cost. Half of these remain in inventory at year-end (31 Dec 20X5). Horizon's receivables include $150,000 due from WindTech, but WindTech's payables show $100,000 due to Horizon (the difference is cash in transit). WindTech's profit for the year was $600,000 (assume no extra depreciation on the patent).
