Case Study

Financial information at 30 June 2020 of Great Ltd and its subsidiary company, Wall Ltd, is shown below.

At 1 July 2017, the date Great Ltd acquired its 80% shareholding in Wall Ltd, all the identifiable assets and liabilities of Wall Ltd were at fair value except for the following assets:

Carrying amount Fair value

Plant (cost $75,000) $49,000 $55,000

Land $29,000 $37,000

The plant has an expected life of 10 years, with benefits being received evenly over that period. Differences between carrying amounts and fair values are adjusted on consolidation. The land on hand at 1 July 2017 was sold on 1 February 2018 for $40,000. Any valuation reserve in relation to the land is transferred on consolidation to retained earnings.

Great Ltd uses the full goodwill method. The fair value of the non-controlling interest at 1 July 2017 was $31,500.
