The assets of Matt Ltd did not include a patent that was valued by Robert Ltd at $10 000. Its useful life was considered to be 5 years, with benefits being received equally over that period. The plant was considered to have a further 10-year life and is depreciated on a straight-line basis. All the inventory was sold by 30 June 2016. The goodwill on hand at 1 July 2015 was written off as the result of an impairment test conducted in June 2017. The dividend on hand at 1 July 2015 was paid in August 2015.

In exchange for the shares in Matt Ltd, Robert Ltd gave the following consideration:

  1. 50 000 shares in Robert Ltd, each share having a fair value of $2.00 per share.
  2. Cash of $40 000.
  3. Artworks having a fair value of $60 000.

Robert Ltd incurred legal and accounting costs of $5000 and share issue costs of $4000.
