The following information is relevant:
a). At the date of acquisition, Barrack conducted a fair value exercise on Northerns net assets which were equal to their carrying amounts with the following exceptions:
- An item of plant had a fair value of $3 million above its carrying amount. At the date of acquisition it had a remaining life of five years. Ignore deferred tax relating to this fair value.
- Northern had an unrecorded deferred tax liability of $1 million, which was unchanged as at 31 December 2019
Barracks policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose a share price for Northern of $350 each is representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.
b). Immediately after the acquisition, Northern issued $4 million of 11% loan notes, $25 million of which were bought by Barrack. All interest due on the loan notes as at 31 December 2019 has been paid and received.
