-In the elimination of intercompany sales and profits, you have correctly calculated the unrealized profit for the sales from Bells to Torquay and from Torquay to Bells. However, you have not included the tax effect of these unrealized profits. According to AASB 112 Income Taxes, the tax effect of these unrealized profits should be recognized.

-In the adjustment for dividends, you have correctly eliminated the dividends receivable from Bells Ltd. However, you have not eliminated the dividends payable by Torquay Ltd. This should be eliminated as it is an intragroup transaction.

-In the elimination of intercompany transactions, you have correctly eliminated the management fees. However, you have not eliminated the dividends declared by Torquay Ltd. This should be eliminated as it is an intragroup transaction.

-In the calculation of non-controlling interest, you have correctly calculated the non-controlling interest in the earnings of Torquay Ltd. However, you have not calculated the non-controlling interest in the net assets of Torquay Ltd. This should be calculated as 20% of the net assets of Torquay Ltd.

-In the consolidated statement of financial position, you have correctly calculated the total assets and total liabilities. However, you have not correctly calculated the total equity. The total equity should be the sum of the equity attributable to the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interest.

-In the consolidated statement of changes in equity, you have correctly calculated the balance at 1 July 2017 and the total comprehensive income for the year. However, you have not correctly calculated the dividends. The dividends should be subtracted from the retained earnings, not added to it.

Other information:

  • The management of Bells Ltd values any non-controlling interest in Torquay Ltd at fair value.
  • During the current financial year, Torquay Ltd pays management fees of $10 000 to Bells Ltd. This item is included in 'other' expenses and income.
  • During the current financial year, Bells Ltd sold inventory to Torquay Ltd at a price of $30 000. The inventory cost Bells $22 000 to produce. Fifty per cent of this inventory is still on hand with Torquay Ltd at the end of the financial year. (Hint: as this unrealised profit relates to sales made by Bells Ltd then no adjustments are necessary when calculating non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.)
  • During the current financial year, Torquay Ltd sold inventory to Bells Ltd at a price of $20 000. The inventory cost Torquay Ltd $14 000 to produce. Forty per cent of this inventory is still on hand with Bells Ltd at the end of the financial year. (Hint: as this unrealised profit relates to sales made by Torquay Ltd then adjustments will be necessary when calculating non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.)
  • In the preceding financial year, Torquay Ltd sold inventory to Bells Ltd at a price of $11 000. The inventory cost Torquay Ltd $8000 to produce. At 30 June 2017, 20 per cent of this inventory was still held by Bells Ltd. (Hint: this information will be used to make an adjustment to non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.)
  • The management of Bells Ltd believes that goodwill acquired has subsequently been impaired. It was impaired by $12 000 in the year to 30 June 2017, and by a further $12 000 in the year to 30 June 2018. (Hint: because the non-controlling interest in Torquay is being valued at fair value, then this will mean that the non-controlling interest will incorporate a proportional share of goodwill. Therefore, any impairment in goodwill will impact the non-controlling interest in Torquay Ltd.)
  • On 1 July 2017 Torquay Ltd sold an item of plant to Bells Ltd for a price of $45 000 when its carrying amount in Torquay Ltd.'s accounts were $25 000 (cost $50 000, accumulated depreciation $25 000). This item of the plant was being depreciated over a further 10 years, with no expected residual value. (Hint: as this unrealised profit relates to a sale of plant made by Torquay Ltd then adjustments will be necessary when calculating non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.)
  • On 30 June 2018, the directors of Torquay Ltd declared and communicated to their shareholders that they would pay a final dividend amounting to $10 000. (Hint: dividends paid by Torquay will act to reduce the non-controlling interest in Torquay.)

Bells ltd. policy and procedures

The organisation has the following policies and procedures to consolidate the financial accounts:

Uniform Accounting Policies

Bells Ltd. shall prepare consolidated financial statements using uniform accounting policies for like transactions andother events in similar circumstances.

Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when the investor loses control of the investee. Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do notresult in the parent losing control of the subsidiary areequity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).

Non-Controlling Interests

Bells ltd. shall present non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.

Loss of Control

If Bells Ltd. loses control of a subsidiary, the parent:

  1. derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position;
  2. recognises any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value when control is lost and subsequently accounts for it and for any amounts owed by or to the former subsidiary in accordance withrelevant IFRSs; and
  3. recognises the gain or loss associated with the loss of control attributable to the former controlling interest.

Conversions and Consolidation procedures

Conversion procedures:

  1. In case if the transaction happens in a foreign currency, the organisation uses the current rates of transactions.

Consolidated financial statements:

combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries;

eliminate the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's portion of equity of each subsidiary;

and eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. AASB 112 Income Taxes applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.

If the unrealised profit relates to sales made by Bells Ltd, then no adjustments are necessary when calculating non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.

If unrealised profit relates to a sale of the plant made by Torquay Ltd then adjustments will be necessary when calculating non-controlling interests in Torquay Ltd.
