Changes in the step 1-4
As per the IFRS there is only full goodwill method where the goodwill is recognized completely
by acquirer. Whereas there is one more method which is known as partial goodwill method that
records the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the share. In the
case of the partial goodwill method the change happens only in case of the goodwill share of the
acquirer. The goodwill under the full goodwill method exceeds the goodwill under the partial
goodwill method. In step one the acquisition analysis is taken into consideration by taking the
factor of the non-controlling interest. In this scenario the goodwill is calculated at 91%, whereas
in case of the full goodwill method the values would have recorded at 100%. In the step 4 the
share of the profit will be changed accordingly.
