On August 1, Year 5, A Company acquired 70 Percent of the common shares of C Company for $700,000. On that date, the fair value of C’s identifiable net assets was $600,000 and the book value of its shareholders’ equity was $500,000
1) d. $ 3,00,000
Non-controlling interest = ( Purchase consideration / Controlling interest % ) × Non-controlling interest %
Controlling interest % = 70%
Non-controlling interest % = 100% - 70% = 30%
Non-controlling interest = $ 7,00,000 / 70% × 30%
= $ 3,00,000
2) c. $ 1,80,000
Non-controlling interest = Fair value of Identifiable net assets × Non-controlling interest %
= $ 6,00,000 × 30%
= $ 1,80,000
3) a. It should be recognized as a gain on purchase.
In case of 100% share acquisition, where purchase consideration ( $ 6,00,000 ) is less than fair value of Identifiable net assets ($ 7,00,000), it shall be treated as gain on purchase.
