The following information is relevant:
- The fair values of net assets of Opoku at the date of acquisition were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of an item of plant which had a carrying amount of GH12m and a fair of GH17m. This plant had a remaining life of five years (straight line depreciation) at the date of acquisition of Opoku. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales. In addition, Opoku owns the registration of a popular internet domain name. The registration, which had a negligible cost, has five-year remaining life (at the date of acquisition); however, it is renewable indefinitely at a nominal cost. At the date of acquisition, the domain name was valued by a specialist company at GH20m. The fair values of plant and the domain nave not been reflected in Opokus financial statements. No fair value adjustments were required on the acquisition of the investment in Appiah.
- Immediately after its acquisition of Opoku, Abena invested GH50m in an 8% loan note from Opoku. All interest accruing to 30/09/2019 had been accounted for by both companies. Opoku also has other loans in issue at 30/09/2019.
- Abena has credited the whole of the dividend it received from Opoku to investment income
- After the acquisition, Abena sold goods to Opoku for GH15m on which Abena made a gross profit of 20%. Opoku had one third of these goods still in its inventory at 30/09/2019. There are no intra-group current account balances at 30/09/2019.
- The non-controlling interest in Opoku is to be valued at its (full) fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose, Opokus share price at that date can be taken to be indicative of the fair value of the shareholding of the non-controlling interest.
- The goodwill of Opoku has not suffered any impairment; however, due to its losses, the value of Abenas investment in Appiah has been impaired by GH3m at 30/09/2019
- All items in the above income statements are deemed to accrue evenly over the year unless otherwise indicated.
