On 1 April 20X3, Draco Limited acquired 90% of the equity shares in Aboro Limited.

The following information is relevant
(i) Included in Aboro Limited’s property at the date of acquisition was a leased property recorded at its depreciated historical cost of GH₵400,000. The property had been sub-let for its remaining life of only four years at an annual rental of GH₵80,000 payable in advance on 1 April each year. The directors of Draco Limited are of the opinion that the fair value of this property is best reflected by the present value of its future cash flows. An appropriate cost of capital for the group is 10% per annum.
The present value of a GH₵1 annuity received at the end of each year where interest rates are 10% can be taken as:
3 year annuity GH₵2.50
4 year annuity GH₵3.20

(ii) The software of Aboro Limited represents the depreciated cost of the development of an integrated business accounting package. It was completed at a capitalised cost of GH₵2,400,000 and went on sale on 1 April 20X2. Aboro Limited’s directors are depreciating the software on a straight-line basis over an eight-year life (i.e. GH₵300,000 per annum). However, the directors of Draco Limited are of the opinion that a five-year life would be more appropriate as sales of business software rarely exceed this period.

(iii) The inventory of Draco Limited on 31 March 20X4 contains goods at a transfer price of GH₵25,000 that were supplied by Aboro Limited who had marked them up with a profit of 25% on cost. Unrealised profits are adjusted for against the profit of the company that made them.

(iv) On 31 March 20X4 Aboro Limited remitted to Draco Limited a cash payment of GH₵55,000. This was not received by Draco Limited until early April. It was made up of an annual repayment of the 10% loan note of GH₵40,000 (the interest had already been paid) and GH₵15,000 of the current account balance.

(v) The accounting policy of Draco Limited for non-controlling interests (NCI) in a subsidiary is to value NCI at a proportionate share of the net assets.

(vi) An impairment test at 31 March 20X4 on the consolidated goodwill concluded that it should be written down by GH₵120,000. No other assets were impaired.
