1. Preparing the consolidated financial statements for Erik Ltd’s group at 1 July 2017
Calculation analysis:
Net fair value of identifiable assets
and liabilities of Finn Ltd + ($90,000 + $12,000 + $36,000)
+ ($43,000 – $35,000) (1 – 30%)
+ ($46,000 – $42,000) (1 – 30%)
+ $12,000 (1 – 30%)
– $3,000 (1 – 30%)
Net fair value =$152,700
Net consideration transferred = $151,000 – $12,600
= $138,400
Previously acquired equity interest = $15,400
Goodwill = ($138,400 + $15,400) – $152,700
