Corporate Accounting and Reporting - Acquisition Analysis Solution

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a corporate accounting assignment centered on acquisition analysis. It meticulously details the calculations and worksheet entries involved in a business combination scenario. The solution includes the determination of net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, the calculation of goodwill, and the creation of worksheet entries at both the acquisition date (July 1, 2016) and a later date (June 30, 2019). It covers business combination valuation entries for various assets like inventory, machinery, and vehicles, considering deferred tax implications. The solution also includes pre-acquisition entries, and adjustments for items like cost of sales, income tax, depreciation, impairment losses on goodwill, and dividends. The solution demonstrates how to account for the sale of fair-valued assets and the subsequent transfer from the business combination valuation reserve to retained earnings.
