Solution

The calculation of goodwill at the time of acquisition is as follows:

Consideration paid for Solace Ltd: 950,000FairvalueofidentifiablenetassetsofSolaceLtd:950,000 Fair value of identifiable net assets of Solace Ltd: 800,000

Goodwill = Consideration paid - Fair value of identifiable net assets Goodwill = 950,000950,000 - 800,000 = $150,000

The impairment of goodwill for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 is 15,000andfortheyearended30June2022is15,000 and for the year ended 30 June 2022 is 20,000.

Total impairment = Impairment for 2021 + Impairment for 2022 Total impairment = 15,000+15,000 + 20,000 = $35,000

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.
