Case 2: Consolidation worksheet, previously held investment in subsidiary
On 1 August 2018, Eco Ltd acquired 10% of the shares in Fico Ltd for $8000. Eco Ltd used the fair
value method to measure this investment with movements in fair value being recognised in profit or
loss. At 1 July 2017, the fair value of this investment was $15 400. The original investment in Fico Ltd
was due to the fact that Fico Ltd was undertaking research into particular microbiological elements
that could influence the profitability of Eco Ltd. With the continuing success of this research, Eco Ltd
decided to acquire the remaining shares (cum div.) in Fico Ltd.
On 1 July 2017, Eco Ltd made an offer to buy the remaining shares in Fico Ltd for $151 000 cash. This offer was accepted by the shareholders of Fico Ltd. On 1 July 2017, immediately after the business
combination, the statement of financial position of Fico Ltd was as follows:
Eco ltd Fico Ltd
