ACC322: Company Accounting - Tax and Business Combinations

This document provides a comprehensive solution to a company accounting assignment (ACC322), addressing various key areas. The solution begins with the preparation of a current tax worksheet, calculation of current tax liability, and journal entries for current and deferred tax. It then delves into business combinations, including the acquisition analysis to determine goodwill, followed by journal entries to record the acquisition. The assignment further explores consolidated financial statements, covering goodwill calculation, consolidation journal entries, and the preparation of a consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Finally, the solution addresses non-controlling interest (NCI), determining goodwill using both full and partial goodwill methods, and preparing the associated consolidation journal entries.

ACC322 - Company Accounting

Question 1: Accounting for Company tax
1. Prepare current tax worksheet; calculate current tax liability:
Current tax worksheet
for year ended 30th June 2017
Profit before income tax
$240,20
0
Add:
Doubtful debt expense $4,000
Depreciation expense:
Plant $2,025
building $475
Employees benefit expense
$12,00
0
Entertainment expense $7,200
Insurance expense $6,200
Fines and penalties $5,400
Warranty expense $8,500 $45,800
$286,00
0
Deduct:
Tax depreciation - plant
$18,00
0
Tax amortization development cost
$16,00
0
Tax insurance $6,200 -$40,200
Tax loss
$245,80
0
Current tax liability @ 30% $73,740
2. Prepare the deferred tax worksheet to calculate the deferred tax asset and
liability balances and adjustments for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Include all accounts and net balances where appropriate.
Deferred tax for the year
Tax depreciation greater than depreciation expense
=Accumulated depreciation for tax purposes greater than for accounting purposes
= The carrying amount of the depreciable asset is greater than the tax base
= Deferred tax liability

Increase in deferred tax liability = ($18000 — $2025) x 30% = $4,792.5
Doubtful debts expense greater than bad debts written off
= Allowance for doubtful debts for accounting purposes but not tax purposes
= The carrying amount of accounts receivable is less than the tax base
= Deferred tax asset
No changes in deferred tax asset
Long service leave expense greater than long service leave paid
= Provision for long service leave for accounting purposes but not tax purposes
= The carrying amount of the liability is greater than the tax base
= Deferred tax asset
No changes in deferred tax asset
3. Prepare the journal entries to recognize the current tax liability, deferred
tax assets, and liabilities at 30 June 2020
Tax entries for 30th June 2020
The journal entry for current tax is:
Income tax expense Dr. 73,740
Current tax liability Cr. 73,740
The journal entry for deferred tax is:
Deferred tax asset Dr. 300
Deferred tax liability Cr. 300
Current tax = $73,740
Deferred tax from origination and reversal of temporary differences = (8,250)
Income tax expense = $65,490
Question 2: Business combinations

1. Prepare the acquisition analysis in relation to the acquisition to determine the
gain on bargain purchase or goodwill.
Acquisition analysis at 1st July, 2019:
A. Net identifiable assets:
Carrying
Amount Adjustment
Fair
Value
Accounts Receivables 60,000 2,500 62,500
Land 360,000 -20,000 340,000
Building (net) 265,000 10,000 275,000
Equipment (net) 160,000 22,000 182,000
Plant Net 120,000 -7,500 112,500
Vehicles (net) 70,500 -3,500 67,000
Fair value of assets 1,035,500.00 3,500 1,039,000
Accounts Payables 35,000 0 35,000
Loan – ABC Bank 245,000
Share Capital 380,000 -
Retained earnings 407,000 -
Fair value of liabilities 1,067,000 35,000
Net identifiable assets = Share capital + retained earnings + Adjustment with fair value
= 380,000 + 407,000 + 3,500
= $790,500
B. Consideration transfer:
Paid off loan ABC bank 245,000
Distributed to owner 70,000
Land 110,000
Issue of shares (52000 * $12 per
share) 624,000
Total consideration transfer cost
1,049,000
Goodwill = Consideration transfer – Net identifiable assets
= $1,049,500 - $790,500
= $259,000

2. Prepare the journal entries in the records of Iron Ltd to record its acquisition of
Man Ltd on 1 July 2020.
Shares in Man ltd. Dr. 1,049,500
Paid off loan ABC bank Cr. 245,000
Distributed to owner Cr. 70,000
Land Cr. 110,000
Share capital Cr. 624,000
Acquisition expenses Dr. 15,500
Share capital Dr. 9,200
Cash Cr. 24,700
The acquisition-related costs are not part of the consideration transferred as those amounts are
not paid to the former shareholders of Man Ltd in exchange of their shares. Therefore, they are
not recognized as part of the investment in Man Ltd: the share issue costs are treated as a
reduction in the share capital (as all the share issue costs), while the remaining costs are
recognized as expenses in the year of acquisition.
Question 3: Consolidated financial statements, method, acquisition, business combination
valuation and intra-group transactions
1. Determine the gain on bargain purchase or goodwill as at acquisition date.
A. Net identifiable assets
Share capital $20,000
Inventory adjusted $950

Calculation of goodwill as at 31st Dec, 2020:

Goodwill = Considered transferred – Net identifiable assets
= $40,000 - $26,950 = $13,050
2. Prepare the consolidation journal entries for Captain Ltd immediately after
acquisition on 1 January 2020.

Question 4 - Non- Controlling interest
1. Determine the gain on bargain purchase or goodwill as at acquisition date using the full
goodwill method. Assume the fair value of the Non-Controlling Interest on 1 July 2015 was
$52,500
Full Goodwill Method:
= Considered transferred + Non-controlling interest – Net identifiable assets + Net adjustment
= $180,000 + $52,500 – (90,000 + 9,000 + 44,000) + $45,000
= $44,500
Carrying Amount Fair Value Adjustment
Inventories $62,000 $79,000 $17,000
Plant (Cost $145,000) 125,000 162,000 $37,000
Accounts Receivables 81,000 72,000 -$9,000
Net adjustment $45,000
2. Determine the gain on bargain purchase or goodwill as at acquisition date using the partial
goodwill method.
Partial goodwill method:
= Considered transferred – Net identifiable assets + Net adjustment
= $180,000 – 75% {(90,000 + 9,000 + 44,000) + $45,000}
= $39,000
