Solution

To calculate the amount of goodwill acquired by Graham Limited in this business combination, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the fair value of the net assets of Terry Limited. This is done by adding the share capital and reserves, and adjusting for any assets or liabilities not recorded at fair value. In this case, the equipment was recorded at $60,000 below fair value, so we add this amount back:

    Fair value of net assets = Share capital + Reserves + Adjustment for equipment Fair value of net assets = 100,000+100,000 + 124,000 + 60,000=60,000 = 284,000

  2. Calculate the fair value of the consideration transferred by Graham Limited for the 90% stake in Terry Limited. This is given as $340,000.

  3. Calculate the amount of goodwill. This is done by subtracting the fair value of the net assets acquired (step 1) from the fair value of the consideration transferred (step 2). However, since Graham Limited only acquired 90% of Terry Limited, we need to take 90% of the fair value of the net assets:

    Goodwill = Fair value of consideration transferred - (90% of Fair value of net assets) Goodwill = 340,000(0.9340,000 - (0.9 * 284,000) = 340,000340,000 - 255,600 = $84,400

So, the amount of goodwill acquired by Graham Limited in this business combination is $84,400.

Example 1The following information is given as at 31 March 20X1P Ltd.

Let us understand why goodwill / capital reserve arises in case ofconsolidation, and what would be the interpretation of the same.© The Institute of Chartered Accountants of IndiaADVANCED ACCOUNTING10.22In the given case, P Ltd. acquired all the shares of S Ltd. by paying` 1,000. Thispayment (i.e., purchase consideration) would be made by P Ltd. to theshareholder(s) of S Ltd. (hence the transfer of this amount would not appear in thebooks of S Ltd.).By paying` 1,000, P Ltd. has acquired ‘control’ over S Ltd. This acqu isition is quitedifferent from the concept of amalgamation done in accordance with AS 14, thoughthe concept of goodwill / capital reserve is similar. Under AS 14, the targetcompany would generally liquidate, and all assets and liabilities would betransferred from the Selling Company to the Purchasing Company. In case ofconsolidation, P Ltd. is acquiring ‘control’ i.e., by way of acquiring equity shares in SLtd.. Thus, S Ltd. continues to exist, and the assets and liabilities of S Ltd. are nottransferred to P Ltd., but instead continue to remain with S Ltd. only. However, sincein substance, acquisition has taken place (albeit through transfer of control), thepurchase consideration of` 1,000 will be compared with the net worth ofS Ltd., which is` 1,000. Since amount paid (i.e., purchase consideration) equals thenet worth, no goodwill / capital reserve is recognized. In case the amount paid (i.e.,purchase consideration) would be higher / lower than the net worth of S Ltd., suchdifference would be recognized in Goodwill / Capital Reserve respectively.
