1. Acquisition Analysis as at 1 July 2017
Acquisition is analysed in two steps. The first step calculates the net value of Darren Ltd.
Identifiable assets and liabilities. The second step compares that value of assets and liabilities
(equity) with the consideration transferred.
a) Identifiable values of assets and liabilities at fair value
Items Amount ($) Amount ($)
Share Capital 54,000
Retained earnings 36,000
Surplus from Revaluation of asset 18,000
Surplus from Revaluation of
inventory
16,000 - 14,000 (1-0.3) 1,400
Surplus from Revaluation of
machinery
94,000 - 92,500 (1-0.3) 1,050
Total 110,450
Therefore, the fair value of the acquisition is $110,450.
b) Calculating the gain realised from the acquisition
The gain from the acquisition is calculated by deducting the fair value of the acquisition from
the transferred acquisition.
The gain = $110,450 -$110,000
= $450.
