The following information is relevant:
1. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Chempaka’s assets were equal to their
carrying amounts except for these two items:
(i) An item plant had a fair value of RM1.8 million above its carrying amount. The
remaining life of the plant at the date of acquisition was three years. Depreciation is
charged to costs of sales.
(ii) Chempaka had a contingent liability which Melor estimated to have value of
RM450,000. This has not changed as at 30 September 2019.
2. Melor’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair values at the date of
acquisition. For this purpose, Chempaka’s share price at that date can be deemed to be
representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.
3. Sales from Melor throughout the year ended 30 September 2019 had consistently been
RM800,000 per month. Melor made a mark-up on cost of 25% on these sales.
Chempaka had RM1.5 million of these goods in inventory as at 30 September 2019.
4. Chempaka has been profitable since its acquisition by Melor’s product. The market for
Chempaka has been badly hit in recent months and the goodwill has been impaired by
RM2 million as at 30 September 2019.
