On 1 July 2015, I Ltd. acquired a 30% interest in one of its suppliers, G Ltd., at a cost of 13,650. The directors of I Ltd. believe they exert 'significant influence' over G Ltd. The equity of G Ltd. at acquisition was:

Share capital (20000 shares) $20,000

Retained earnings $10,000

All the identifiable assets and liabilities of G Ltd. at 1 July 2015 were recorded at fair value except for some depreciable non-current assets with a fair value of $15,000 greater than carrying amount. These depreciable non-current assets are expected to have a 10-year life.
