Impairment of an asset Carrying value (Assets – liabilities + goodwill) X Less recoverable amount (X) Impairment loss X Why is goodwill added to the carrying amount? Because it is inseperable from the net assets of the subsidiary. Recoverable amount: Cash generating unit is a collection of assets and liabilities that generate an independent stream of cash.

What I need to know Fair value (FV) is the price to be received to sell an asset. P records the investment in the S at FV of the consideration given. FV of P’s shares issued for the investment in S will be measured at their market value. FV of deferred consideration given for the investment in S creates a liability that is measured at present value of future cash flow.

What I need to know Consideration given for the investment that is dependent on a contingency is recorded at FV and creates a provision for a liability (if cash) or and equity reserve (if settled in shares). If provision for liability for contingent consideration does not have to be paid it is derecognised and a gain recognised in income.

What i need to know FV of P’s interest bearing loan notes issued as consideration given is recorded at nominal value. NCI at acquisition can be measured at FV and goodwill will be in full. NCI at acquisition can be proportionate of S’s net assets and goodwill will be given to P only. At doa net assets of S have to be adjusted to FV

What i need to know If at year-end FV asset adjustments are depreciated, then S’s profits must be adjusted as well. Asset is impaired when the carrying value is higher than the recoverable amount. Impairment loss on full goodwill is shared between P(W5) and NCI (W4). Impairment loss on goodwill attributable to P is wholly charged against P’s profits (W5).

Mid-year acquisitions Assumption on Post acquisition profits When acquisition occurs during a period, assume profits accrue evenly during the period and that no dividends will have been paid by Subsidiary.

Example If S was acquired at May 1, 2014 and retained earnings at December 31, 2013 were $100m and at December 31 2014 were $148m, then to calculate retained earnings at date of acquisition: Retained earnings $100m__________$?_doa_______________$148m 2013.12.31 2014.05.01 2014.12.31 $148-100=$48 post acquisition profits 48/12 months = $4 per month From Jan. 1 to April 30 = 4 months Therefore balance of Retained Earnings as at May 1 can be $100 + 16 = $116m
