K Company acquired 80 percent of the outstanding shares of Duo Company by paying $420,000 in cash. The fair value of Duo’s identifiable assets is $630,000, and the liabilities assumed by K Co. in this business combination are $205,000.
a. Please calculate the total amount of goodwill on the B/S this year. Also indicate the amount of goodwill that belongs to the noncontrolling interest account on B/S.
b. K Co. must conduct an impairment test of the goodwill related to the acquisition of Duo. The assets of Duo are the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows, and it is a separate cash generating unit. K. Co estimated the following items:
Fair value less costs to sell is $ 370,000
Present value of future cash flows is $350,000
Please calculate the impairment loss that should be recorded on I/S.
a. Calculation of the total amount of goodwill on the B/S this year :-
fair value of Duo’s identifiable assets = $630,000
fair value of Duo’s liabilities = $205,000
fair value of Net assets = $630,000 - $205,000 = $425,000
Acquisition cost of Duo = $ 420,000
Fair value of Non contolling interest = 425,000/ *20 % = $ 85,000
Total Fair Value = $ 505,000
Less: Book Value of Net Assets of Duo (Note*) = $ 425,000
Goodwill = $ 80,000
Goodwill relating to acquisition of Duo:-
Cash paid for acquiring controlling interest = $ 420,000
Less: Share in net assets of subsidiary comapny acquired = $425,000 * 80% = $ 340,000
K company's share in Goodwill relating to acquisition of Duo = $ 80,000
Total Goodwill = $ 80,000
Less: Goodwill relating to controlling interest = $ 80,000
Non Controlling Interest's share = 0
b. Calculation of impairment loss :-
Carrying Amount of Investment = $ 420,000
Less: Recoverable Amount (Higher of following) :
Fair value less costs to sell = $ 370,000
Value in Use (Present value
of future cash flows) = $ 350,000 = $ 370,000
Impairment loss relating to goodwill = $ 50,000
Note*: Since the book value of net assets of Duo is not given, so we have assumed fair value of net assets = book value of net assets i.e. $ 425,000.
