1. This case is used for questions 1 and 2. Bogart is a listed
company that reports using IFRS and has a reporting date of 30
September 2020. Bogart purchased 18% of Lupin’s 100 million $1
ordinary shares for $43 million cash on 1 October 2018, gaining
significant influence. Lupin had retained earnings of $85 million
and no other components of equity, on the date of purchase. The
investment in Lupin was accounted for correctly in Bogart’s
individual financial statements for the year ended 30 September
2019, when Lupin had retained earnings of $150 million and no other
components of equity. Bogart acquired control over Lupin on 1
October 2019, purchasing a further 67% of its ordinary shares. Cash
consideration of $160 million was correctly included in calculating
goodwill. Purchase consideration included 3 million of Bogart’s own
$1 ordinary shares, with a fair value of $1.40 each. No accounting
entries were posted for this share consideration. Bogart
derecognized the carrying amount of the existing 18% holding in
Lupin and included it in calculating the goodwill of the business
combination. The carrying amount of the net assets of Lupin was
also used in calculating goodwill. The fair value of the existing
18% holding was $73 million at 1 October 2019 and the fair value of
the identifiable net assets of Lupin was $285 million. The excess
of the fair value of net assets over the carrying amount was due to
equipment with a remaining useful life of ten years. The fair value
of the non-controlling interest in Lupin on 1 October 2019 was
$63.8 million and was included in calculating goodwill.
