5CORPORATE ACCOUNTING
Rationale behind the Transactions
The business consolidation was performed between the Lead Beaters and Possum Ltd
where the necessary transactions and accounts were analysed and then consolidated for getting
the relevant accounts and details into account. Consolidated financial statement has been
prepared after talking the adjustment of the inventory, plant and machinery and contingent
liability of the company. Relevant tax rate of 30% was taken into consideration for the analysis
and the inclusion of the same was considered for the financial statement of the company (Patel
2015). The goodwill consideration was calculated by taking the actual amount paid by the
company for the net identified fair value of the company and the actual value paid. The
difference in the fair value and consideration was taken as the goodwill amount. The
classification of the various expenses and the retained profits of the company was also derived
by taking relevant account details and transactions for the company (Trigo, Belfo and Estébanez
2016).
