Comprehensive Solution for Corporate Accounting and Reporting Problems

This document presents a comprehensive solution to a corporate accounting and reporting assignment. The solution addresses two key questions. The first question involves a business combination scenario, requiring the calculation of net fair value, consideration paid, and the preparation of worksheet entries. It also includes pre-acquisition entries, and adjustments for depreciation, deferred tax, and goodwill impairment. The second question focuses on the preparation of a Statement of Financial Position and a Statement of Changes in Equity, with detailed notes and calculations. The solution demonstrates the application of accounting principles to analyze financial data and prepare accurate financial statements.
