Homework Answers

Answer #1

Solution a)

Initial value of the Goodwill at the time of the acquisition.

Fair value of Assets & liabilities = 8,000

Adjustments:-

Add:- Overvaluation of PPE = 7,000

Add:- Unrecorded Intangible asset book = 8,000

A. Fair value of the business   = 23,000

B. Purchase consideration   = 42,000

Initial value of goodwill (B-A) = 19,000

Solution b)

Value of the equity as on 31/12/2020

Subsidiary Book value (assume as same) = 8,000

PPE ( 7000 - 7000/10*2) (2 yr depretiation deducted) = 5,600

Unrecorded intangible asset (8,000- 2,000 -1,000) = 5,000

Goodwill (19,000 - 3,000)(impairement) = 16,000

Total value = $ 34,600
