    This question is part of a case study — click to read the full scenario(Case 36)

    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).

    Calculate the Goodwill arising on acquisition. (Enter the number only)

WindTech's net assets at acquisition were $4,500,000 (including 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.

    Calculate the closing value of the Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) to be shown in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 Dec 20X5. (Enter the number only)

    How to approach this question

    Add the NCI share of post-acquisition profit to the NCI fair value at acquisition.

    Full Answer

    Closing NCI = NCI at acquisition ($1,100,000) + NCI share of profit for the year ($120,000) = $1,220,000.

    Common mistakes

    Calculating 20% of the closing net assets, which ignores the fair value method used at acquisition.
