By applying the principles as per IAS 28 Investments in Associates or Joint Ventures, it can be concluded that Temp comapany is an associate of Grant Company as tts 20% holding of outstanding share capital of Temp company leads to significant influence on the policies of Temp Company.

However, IAS 28 recommends to use only equity method for holding of investment in associate.

Calculation of Goodwil or Profit on acquisition of Investment From Temp:

Purchase Consideration paid = $71,000

Fair Value on acuisition date = $ 71,000

Since both are equal, no goodwill arises.
