Question

Pink acquired 80% of the share capital of Blue on 1 April 2019. The retained earnings of Blue on 30 Sept 2018 were £135,000. No dividends paid by Blue in the year to 30 Sept 2019.

The fair value of the 20% non-controlling interest at acquisition was £200,000.

At acquisition the fair value of Blue's plant exceeded its carrying amount by £200,000. Plants are depreciated at 20% rate (straight line method).
