Working Notes and Key Calculations

  1. Tangible Non-Current Assets:
    • The combined value includes the fair value adjustments for Tata’s and Chebe’s land, reflecting an additional N25 million for Tata and N16 million for Chebe.
  2. Goodwill Calculation:
    • Goodwill on Tata is calculated using the fair value of the purchase consideration, the fair value of non-controlling interests, and the fair value of net assets.
    • Goodwill impairment of N15 million is deducted from the total goodwill.
  3. Investment in Associate (Chebe):
    • Papa’s 25% holding in Chebe is treated as an investment in an associate and valued at 25% of Chebe’s net assets post-acquisition.
  4. Retained Earnings:
    • Retained earnings include Papa’s earnings, adjusted for Papa’s share of Tata’s post-acquisition profits and goodwill impairment losses.
  5. Non-Controlling Interest (NCI):
    • NCI is based on Tata’s 20% post-acquisition net assets, plus an allocation of goodwill attributable to the NCI.
