Answer #1

Answer :

(a). ROA of Wu's Ltd = EBIT / Assets of Wu's

= 200,000 /4,000,000

= 5%

(b). ROA when investment is tested for impairment

Total assets of Wu's before impairment = 4,000,000

Shares of investment in Unlukey coffee in total assets = [120000 - (20000*20%)] = $116,000

Share of investment in fair value of Unlukey coffee = 70000*20% = $14000

Therefore total assets of Wu's = $4,000,000 - $116,000 + $14,000 = $3,898,000

ROA = [(200000 - 106000)] / 3898000

= 2.41%
